Summary
Shortlisted for Theaksons Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year, 2008.
Winner of the British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2004.
Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award, 2004.
Precious Ramotswe, traditionally-built proprietor of Botswana's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, contemplates the two sorts of problems that we all face in life: the major ones (such as drought), about which very little can be done, and the other sort that people make for themselves through human weakness and an inability to resist temptation. Like the inability to resist cake, for instance. That had led to several problems for Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, especially when the cake was made by Mma Potokwane, matron of the Orphan Farm. But it is Mma Ramotswe's role in life to deal with the problems of others and provide some solution to their difficulties - a role she fulfils with her usual style in this latest best-seller.

Happiness
Love listening to the Mma Ramotswe stories as I drift off to sleep. Very calming voice of the reader is lovely to listen to.

Good story, wonderful storytelling!
Very enjoyable, familiar characters. Both story and voices very good fun. Lovely snatch of music between the chapters . Highly recommend. One of my favourites in the No1 Ladies Detective Agency series.

Slightly boring and long winded
Falling asleep every time after at most 10min. Story long winded with lots of paragraphs were nothing is happening
