 Warm, witty, and wise July 2, 2008
Third in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective series.
Mma. Makutsi plays a more important part in this book. When Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni suddenly loses interest in his shop, Mma. Makutsi gets yet another promotion, to acting manager. She does a great job, managing to motivate the two lazy apprentices while also earning a large fee for the detective agency.
Meanwhile, Mma. Ramotswe tries to help Mr. J.L.B. Motekoni conquer his bout of depression. She reads everything she can find on the subject and also enlists the aid of the woman who runs the orphan farm.

Is there anyone who does not find the character of Precious Ramotswe charming? This traditionally built (fat) African lady detective takes a back seat to her homely assistant detective, Mme. Makutsi, in this installment of the series. Nevertheless, we are favored with the wise one liners of these patient busybodies. Mme Makutsi with her oversized glasses and her too dark skin shines. The detective agency is charged with the task of finding a young woman whose integrity matches her beauty among contestants in a beauty pagent. To the reviewer who wrote that too many story lines are left dangling, I recommend reading the next installment. I have not read these in the proper order, but I loved them all. If you can read these in the proper order, I recommend it. I can't wait for the next one as this completes my read of all the outstanding installments.

Keeps your interest all the way through the book, in fact, throughout the whole series.

I just love the series of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency. What has always impressed me about these books is how no person is simply a one-dimensional character. Maids, cooks, Important Government Men, fiancees, children and garage apprentices all have complex motives and emotions. How human.
