Reviews"Enchanting. . . . As usual, Smith's blend of gentle humor and insights into human nature is irresistible." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Alexander McCall Smith and the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series: "Calling Precious Ramotswe, owner and chief investigator of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana, a detective doesn't do her justice. 'Problem solver extraordinaire' would be much better. Mma Ramotswe . . . treats a whole range of human difficulties as they come her way, finding good solutions through her wisdom, kindness, and tact." -- Booklist "McCall Smith's plots offer wit, charm, and intrigue in equal doses." --Richmond Times-Dispatch "Enchanting . . . An inspiration to us all . . .

The title comes from Precious's reflection that she, blessed by the love of her husband, the proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, walks in sunshine. Readers of this and the whole series will feel similarly blessed." -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for Alexander McCall Smith and the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series: "Calling Precious Ramotswe, owner and chief investigator of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana, a detective doesn't do her justice.

SynopsisIn this latest installment of the beloved and best-selling series, Mma Ramotswe must contend with her greatest challenge yet--a vacation Business is slow at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, so slow in fact that for the first time in her estimable career Precious Ramotswe has reluctantly agreed to take a holiday. The promise of a week of uninterrupted peace is short-lived, however, when she meets a young boy named Samuel, a troublemaker who is himself in some trouble. Once she learns more about Samuel's sad story, Mma Ramotswe feels compelled to step in and help him find his way out of a bad situation. Despite this unexpected diversion, Mma Ramotswe still finds herself concerned about how the agency is faring in her absence. Her worries grow when she hears that Mma Makutsi is handling a new and rather complicated case. A well-respected Botswanan politician is up for a major public honor, and his reputation is now being called into question by his rivals. The man's daughter has contacted the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency to investigate these troubling claims, but, as in so many cases, all is not as it seems. In the end, the investigation will affect everyone at the agency and will also serve as a reminder that ordinary human failings should be treated with a large helping of charity and compassion., In this latest installment of the beloved and best-selling series, Mma Ramotswe must contend with her greatest challenge yet--a vacation!

The Woman who Walked in Sunshine bhy Alexander McCall Smith
I enjoy this series very much. I am also reading his Scotland Street series, it's very good as well, but I enjoy this one more. The first book took me a while to get into it, it is "different" for sure, but awesome different! The characters are great, it is simple but clever, really Make you feel good books. After reading my book, I passe it on to my friends. We all wait for the next one to come out. If you're trying this series for the first time, read them in order and give it a chance, don't give up on the first book because it is different. You won't be disappointed. The humanity and wisdom in these books are second to none.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
