The warm humanity infused throughout [McCall Smith's] novels is what brings readers back . . . There is simplicity and lyricism in [the] language that brings out the profound importance of everyday revelations." -San Francisco Chronicle "There is something so soothing about Precious Ramotswe's adventures. Reading one is like taking a lazy cruise down a slow-moving river on a hot day. And as diverse as the mysteries in each book are, there is always a common thread that draws them together in their solutions. I often wonder how Alexander McCall Smith does it, because I never suspect how everything will turn out, beyond that all will be for the best." -New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal From the Hardcover edition.
