Reviews

There is something almost divinely appealing about the way McCall Smith writes about daily life in Botswana . . . it is hard to think of a contemporary writer more genuinely engaging . . . [his] novels are also extremely funny: I find it impossible to think about them without smiling - Mail on SundayForget the library - the body is in the mud hut. An African Miss Marple created by a Scottish lawyer . . . superb - Sunday TimesTotally addictive - Daily MailA small slice of heaven - ScotsmanHooray - the unstobbable fiction-machine that is Mr Alexander McCall Smith has returned to the mothership . . . Two new clients turn up [with] a problem that will take more than one pot of Mrs Ramotswe's redbush tea to solve, and she solves it with her trademark humanity, warmth and charm. Irresistible - The Times
