About this listen
If you are the founder and managing director of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, you may expect complete strangers to approach you with their problems when they see you having dinner with your husband in a peri-peri restaurant. And if you are Precious Ramotswe, you are a kind and helpful person who will be willing to take on a quest to find the relatives of a man who, many years ago, left the country for the uncertainties and dangers of a distant conflict.
While that is going on, though, there may be other things that claim your attention, such as the shocking news that a club that calls itself the Cool Singles Evening Club is encouraging married men to pretend to be single and meet women under false pretences. Who can be behind such a distasteful venture? Mma Ramotswe shows great tact in dealing with this situation and avoids harm to the innocent.
But, despite these rumbles, life in Botswana, that far and lovely country, continues relatively smoothly. That, after all, is what Mma Ramotswe and her friends want – and most certainly deserves.

Narration
I find some of the voices very irritating. Too high pitched. But loved it as much as I do love all of Alexander McCall Smith’s books.

Always a charming story, well narrated apart from some character voices
I love this series so it was delightful to listen to another instalment. I enjoyed the narrator for most of the story, especially her Botswanan accents and pronunciation of place names. She has a pleasant, measured voice, however I found a few of her character voices quite jarring. So one star less for the performance but otherwise a perfect audio book.
