Enjoyable, but probably my least favorite in the series. I find it tiresome when Alexander McCall Smith sets up the characters in each book. I know he does it, so that people who have not read the series can be clued in, but having read the whole series, it's irritating.

I liked the character development of J.L.B Matekoni and Motholeli. I am glad that their story line didn't have a convenient resolution.
