Book 3/52 The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency – Alexander McCall Smith
Finished book 3 of 52 right on schedule. This was a fun and insightful book. I loved the accent of the narrator (on CD) and the language was pretty and lilting. The characters were complex and it made you want to learn more about them. This book reminded me of the Encyclopedia Brown series I read as a kid. Entertaining but you still learn a thing or two along the way. (I had no idea that snakes like to jump up under car engines! Creepy!) I’ll look out for a chance to read the next in the series, but I probably won’t go out of my way to reserve it or buy it. Fun but not a FAVE.

I read this years ago while I was working at WalMart. I laughed through the whole thing, I think. A lady I worked with got it and read it because she saw me laughing through so much of it. She didn’t like it as much as me. I think I remember reading the others in the series and found them all to be pretty good. Easy, quick reads at least and I think I learned some things about that country and stuff too. (weren’t they in africa or something?)
