Tears of the Giraffe

A wonderful continuation of the lives of people in and around the agency. The story is well written, no straying off the path of the storyline, any change in perspective is nicely announced by the quick reference of a name.

Looking forward the rest of this incredibly long series.

Glorious, evocative, heart-warming and always makes me want to go to Botswana!

Another enjoyable installment in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. This is the second in the series and the second that I've read. I really like Mma Ramotswe, the main character and Lady Detective. She is someone I would like to sit and drink bush tea with. She and her husband-to-be Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni are the 2 nicest people on the planet, and reading about them makes me want to be a better person. It's a good mystery that's not terribly suspenseful, but keeps a reader interested in the progression of the characters lives outside of work. Plus, there's some good ethical and moral dilemmas to think about.

Another really cute one in the series. The main characters are very likeable.

A nice, light read.

I'm beginning to know what
it is about books that
appeals to me. Two of the
things I love in books were
present in this story:
simplicity and the affirmation
of the goodness of life.
I am ready to read book 3 now!
