In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies, Paperback/Alexander McCall Smith

The sixth title in the ever popular series, No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency, following Precious Ramotswe, the cheerful Botswanian private investigator. Both entertaining and moving, this is another masterpiece of comic understatement and an affectionate homage to Botswana and its people. "The author's art has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. This is art that conceals art" The Sunday Telegraph
