This is the 12th book in “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series, which I love. Smith’s books are such a breath of fresh air—charming and interesting. And, in a strange way, calming. I find myself physically reading these books more slowly, savoring them.

The series takes place in Botswana and features Precious Ramotswe, the proprietor of the detective agency, and the people and events surrounding her life in and out of the business. I recommend the books if you want a quick, peaceful read!
