I just love this series. It's always a welcome relief to read one of these books.

This series is ridiculously charming. I love them.

Really was not interested in this story! This was a TOTAL waste of time!
Watched some of http://www.hbo.com/no1ladiesdetectiveagency/ and still did not find interesting to me!

Good, as always.

This is along the same lines as the rest of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series in that it's very charming, good, and gives me that nice warm feeling when I've finished.

As always, it's not so much a mystery as an observation on human nature. I'm always a bit surprised that the series has continued to be compelling since this is the ninth entry and they're all fairly mellow books without huge drama.

Definitely recommended to anyone who has read the rest of the series, and to anyone who hasn't I highly recommend picking them up if you're looking for a good story. As always, they're especially good books to read if you brew up some bush tea to sip along with it.

Mr. Smith writes of compassion, human nature, and insightful snippets of daily life that are applicable in any culture. The books and their characters are intertwined from one installment to the next, and leave the reader with happy, peaceful thoughts. I love this series.

This one fleshes out the husband a little more. Entertaining, but not as good as previous books in the series.
