A.M.S. Does It Again

Reading of the adventures of Mma Precious Ramotswe on a shady porch is the best way to spend a hot Georgia afternoon. She is involved in more mysteries and gives us her thoughtful insights on life as she sees it. A trap is planned and sprung with delightful results. More people are interviewed with strange results. I wonder what Sam Spade would think of Mma Ramotswe.


Such A Winning Series

While not my favorite of the series, there is still much to cherish in the fifth installment of the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Precious is concerned Mr J.L.B. Metekoni will never go through with his promise of marriage, and Mr J.L.B. has his own concerns about a fundraising stunt he gets roped into. The main case Precious takes is the weakest part of the book seeing as she's to investigate the intentions of four suitors to a wealthy business woman, yet at the end of the book had only seen two and the story concluded. However, this small complaint didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of a series that continues to warm the heart and soul.

Heartwarming characters

In Alexander McCall Smith's fifth installment of his "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency," Mma Ramostwe was presented with a case whereby she needed to investigate the four suitors for a wealthy client. The client needed to know who was after her money and who was truly interested in her for who she was. In addition, Mma Ramotswe was also having a dilemma of her own as her fiancee, Mr. Matekoni did not seem to be in any hurry to fix a date for their wedding and she was getting tired of waiting. In this book, Mma Potokwane, the owner of the orphanage that Mr. Matekoni frequently went was getting pushier than ever.

It seems like the "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" has evolved from its very first book. In his first two installments, the author seemd to play a bigger emphasis on cases for Mma Ramotswe to solve wherelse the next three books were focused primarily on the book's characters. In this fifth installemtn, readers would get to know the characters more intimately, their strengths as well as flaws. The way the author wrote was very personal and I can't but help feel that I know the characters personally. Highly recommended!
