Sinossi
La signora Ramotswe e la sua assistente Grace Makutsi, gli unici due investigatori in gonnella di tutto il Botswana, hanno modi ben diversi di prendere la vita. Conciliante l'una e permalosissima l'altra, difficilmente troverebbero l'equilibrio con cui gestiscono la Ladies' Detective Agency N.1 se non avessero un mentore: quel Clovis Andersen, autore dei Principi dell'indagine privata, che fornisce soprattutto considerazioni spicciole. Stavolta però è dura. Un'amica nei guai ricorre al loro aiuto: come dirle che il manuale suggerisce di non accettare incarichi da conoscenti e famigliari? Tuttavia, Precious Ramotswe ha una regola che vince su ogni altra: ascolta sempre quel che le dice il cuore. Eccola allora invischiata in una storia di tradimenti e insoddisfazioni coniugali...
L'infelicità però serpeggia anche tra le persone che le sono più vicine. L'occhialuta ed efficiente signorina Makutsi su - bisce un grave affronto, e per distrarla la signora Ramotswe la porta con sé in un irresistibile viaggio nel selvaggio nord. Le due donne partono in un'avventura on the road da cui torneranno sempre più amiche. Sappia infatti l'aspirante investigatore che il vero segreto di Mma Ramotswe non è nascosto tra le pagine di una bibbia per detective, ma nella sapienza antica e moderna che le viene dall'esperienza sua e dalle tradizioni del suo paese, nonché da una generosità innata.

Recensioni
I am beginning to weary of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books. The writing is as good as ever, McCall has his own distinctive style - warm, compassionate and almost childlike, but the series has deteriorated into a serial. I suppose it was bound to happen, the endless repetitions about exactly Leggi tutto
Fourth read: I don't know what else to say about this series. I always enjoy these books. They make everything better. Books can be the cure for what ails you, and that's what these books are to me. Third read: I can't explain the feeling I get when I read these books. Looking forward to rereading th Leggi tutto
Although Precious Ramotswe no longer drives her tiny white van -- she has a more modern blue one now -- she is still compassionately solving problems for her Botswana neighbors. A letter arrives from the state of Minnesota asking Mma Ramotswe to help locate a safari guide who endeared himself to a l Leggi tutto
I cannot say enough about Alexander McCall Smith's writing style. Gentle, humorous, touching, and drawing true to life pictures of the human condition. Sometimes I cannot believe he is not a woman - he seems to have fully identified how women think and he amazes me. I crave a trip to Botswana becaus Leggi tutto
I love the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and I was excited to read this newest edition. The pace of life is slow and pleasant in the stories and the main character, Precious Ramotswe, tries so hard to always be kind and help other people. My favorite passage from the book: "Having the right a Leggi tutto
A gentle book to read in hard times. Visiting with the characters again is nice. I love his writing.
"Be content with who you are and where you are, and do whatever you can do to bring to others such contentment, and joy, and understanding that you have managed to find yourself." Armed with this advice from her father, and her red bush tea, Mma Ramotswe again brings order and peace to her corner of Leggi tutto
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books are like a breath of fresh air. Each one is so well written, so poignant and charming, so easy to read; that I'm always done before I know it. Even as I crack open each book, I am sad because I know that all too soon, the story will be over. I just cannot slo Leggi tutto
The two cases No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is working on are: (i) find a camp guide who had been kind to an American woman and has now inherited a lot of money, and (ii) help a man fooled by a woman, who has cheated him out of his inheritance, regain his money. Meanwhile, Phuti Radiphuti has had a Leggi tutto
Whilst I am always on a mission to ensure that anyone who has yet to read one of these books goes away to try one immediately, I have come to realise that they're not everyone's cup of tea. I love them. I have loved them from the first moment I discovered them, and they never disappoint me. I feel s Leggi tutto
