The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alesander McCall Smith

The first novel in Alexander McCall Smith's widely acclaimed series.

From the book jacket notes:

This first novel in Alexander McCall Smith's widely acclaimed THE No. I LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY series

tells the story of the delightfully cunning and enormously engaging Precious Ramotswe, who is drawn

to her profession to "help people with the problems in their lives:' Immediately upon setting up shop in a

small storefront in Gaborone, she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and fol-

low a wayward daughter. But the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is that of a missing

eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witch doctors.

"Smart and sassy ...Precious' progress is charted in

passages that have the power to amuse or shock or

touch the heart, sometimes all at once." -Los Angeles Times

"One of the most entrancing literary treats of many a

year. ...A tapestry of extraordinary nuance

and richness:' -The Wall Street Journal
