Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I just love this series. Set in the country of Botswana, it tells the mundane stories of its citizens from the point of view of the lady owner of a detective agency – not an ordinary detective agency, but the country’s Number One Ladie’s Detective Agency (also the only ladie’s detective agency!). Mma. Ramotswe, is a woman of traditional build (what’s not to love?), she is strong, smart, soft, feminine, proud, caring and sensitive. She solves mysteries in her own way with the help of her assistant, Mma. Makutsi, also a witty and smart female character, and her fiancee Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni.
In this book, the detectives are asked to look at morality, as a beauty pageant organizer looks to find a Miss Gaberone who is not only beautiful on the outside, but who has strong integrity on the inside.
A delight to read!
