Sinossi
Nemmeno di sabato Precious Ramotswe può stare tranquilla. La famosa investigatrice africana sembra attirare i guai peggio di una calamita. Basta che si sieda al tavolino di un bar perché le capiti di assistere a un raggiro e di essere accusata lei stessa di furto. Sconvolta, torna a casa confidando nel conforto di una bella tazza di tè rosso, ma al momento di fare un sonnellino scopre un ladro sotto il letto. E nei giorni a seguire non va meglio: con lo scassato furgoncino bianco investe un ex detenuto e, per concludere in bellezza, dalla nebbia del passato spunta il violento ex marito che la ricatta. Un altro cadrebbe in preda allo sconforto, ma non lei, che dalla sua ha i soliti impareggiabili atout: quel JLB Matekoni, suo novello sposo e persona di specchiata onestà; l'occhialuta signorina Makutsi, che finalmente ha trovato uno spasimante di suo gradimento; l'energica direttrice dell'orfanotrofio, Silvia Potokwane, dispotica ma sincera amica. La capacità di creare empatia con gli altri permetterà ancora una volta alla signora Ramotswe di risolvere i casi che, vuoi per il suo lavoro alla Ladies' Detective Agency N.1, vuoi per il semplice fatto di vivere, deve affrontare. I tasselli del mosaico torneranno a incastrarsi quasi per magia e la pace a regnare su Tlokweng Road.

Recensioni
On page 110 and 111 I was very much able to relate to the issue Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potekwane discussed, I wrote the quotes from those pages down, for your entertainment:) "Mma Ramotswe sighed. "We are all tempted, Mma. We are all tempted when it comes to cake." "That is true," said Mma Potekwane. " Leggi tutto
There is something so comforting about this series. Even though life in Botswana is most likely very different than life in Canada, there is something about the tone or writing style that reminds me of life at my grandparent's house. I love the traditional values, the respect for people/property/man Leggi tutto
The entire #1 Ladies Detective Agency series is the most unique set of books I have ever read. I really believe McCall deserves all of the hype he gets for this series, as it has universal appeal. Mma Ramoswe ponders the questions in life that so many of us do, (or would, if we would just slow down a Leggi tutto
***Fourth read*** Every time I read this book, I enjoy it more. Two key characters are added to the series with this volume, which is why I'm picking up my fourth reading of the series with this sixth book. One of the new characters is a firm favorite. They are both very kind men. I love this series. Leggi tutto
I don't know whether the books are getting better as the series continues, or if I have simply slid into the comfort zone they create for me, with all their repetition and rambling and familiarity, but it seems to me that they are becoming more thematically focused and cohesive. This book's intertwi Leggi tutto
Whenever I am stressed, have too many deadlines, or simply have been reading too much heavy, sad stuff, I look for another in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. It is just relaxing, pleasant reading to imagine myself sitting under an acacia tree in the hot Botswana sun drinking bush tea... A Leggi tutto
I found this one to be more entertaining than some of the books in the series. I wouldn't recommend the "No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series to just anyone, but I admit I have enjoyed it. The landscape of Botswana is depicted beautifully, lovingly throughout. I think some folks might NOT appreciat Leggi tutto
Позарязвам поредицата, която за съжаление върви устремно надолу... Много безсмислен пълнеж и повторения, на моменти се отегчих здраво, пречи и нулевото развитие на героите - каквито са в първата книга, такива са и в шестата. Най-малко от маа Макутси съм очаквал да пристане на някакъв мухльо на име Фут Leggi tutto
Lovely prose, gentle clever people.
These are cozy little reads that are really more about the characters' relationships to each other than about any mysteries taken on by the detective agency. I recently saw a documentary about Alexander McCall Smith. He confesses that he wants to present books about Africa that are not tragedies. He Leggi tutto
