About this listen
Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi have always relied on the advice of the classic guide to their trade, The Principles of Private Detection. But who is the eminent author, Mr Clovis Andersen, and what if he was to come to Botswana? That seems a very unlikely possibility, and yet… When Mr Andersen visits Botswana on holiday, he is delighted and intrigued to stumble across a roadside sign that reveals the existence of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Professional courtesy suggests that he call and announce himself. Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuti are embarking on married life and building a new house - a tricky business under any circumstances but especially hazardous when the name of the contractor is the Joy and Light Building Company.

Another delightful story
This book is another in the First Ladies detective Agency series and does not disappoint. It was an excellent choice as the narration is excellent and only adds to the pleasure of reading the story. If you have jot read any of this series, do! If you have already read other books this one is a good choce too.

Lovely book
I always enjoy reading the number 1 ladies detective agency books. If you like the others you will like this. A wonderful view into a world of kindness, where what's right always prevails.

The No 1 Ladies detective agency never fails
I have listened to many of the No 1 ladies detective stories and I love it.
I don't know if I would appreciate them as much had I had a hard copy, but I just love listening to the voice, the performer, the music and the ever so relaxed style of the writer. The mannerisms of the main characters, the politeness and the appreciation of life is a real treat. I have never travelled to Botswana but if the country is like that with the old traditions I would be very happy to go there and drink some tea and enjoy the scenery.

warm and smiley
Just kick back, relax and follow these characters in their naive, innocent but altogether enjoyable escapades. Coming across as polite and kind people you surely ask how could these decent folk survive in the real world never mind running businesses such as Speedy Motors and Limpopo Private Detective Agency not to mention The Right Way Up Building Merchants. The kind of light listen perfect for a Sunday afternoon, as I said....just get yourself comfortable

Another classic
Even though I am up to date with the series (2022) it is well worth revisiting the older stories where a wealth of wisdom and joy can be found.

Another delightful instalment
I always enjoy the adventures of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency - it's a shame that Audible do not have unabridged versions of all the novels. Adjoa Andoh does a superb job - I can't imagine the characters having any other voice but hers - not only the older female characters but the young men who have a way of jive talking that always makes me smile. The story this time was slightly ludicrous - it feels like there is a struggle for new ideas - but there is further development of the regular characters which is enjoyable and faithful to the characters have progressed so far.
