Pumpkins, proposals, new friends, and mystery abound! (  ) carladp | Oct 21, 2009 |  Un des bons de la série que j'ai lu à date. (  ) elavalliere | Oct 15, 2009 | Note Mokoti re-surfaces and demands money from Mma Ramotswe or else. After a row with Mma Makutsi, Charlie quits his job at the garage. Any detecting work comes far behind the continuing story of the characters, which by this stage in the series is what we're really interested in anyway. ( ) Robertgreaves | Sep 23, 2009 | Another volume in the Ladies Detective Agency series, and more of the same gentle pace and home-spun philosophy of life. Always a good read, and always a nice interlude between heavier books. Read July 2009 (  ) mbmackay | Jul 25, 2009 | I read the first book in this series, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, on June 3, 2005, and found it very pleasant reading. But I never followed up on that reading, till now when my daughter Laurie lent me this, the 6th volume in the series. I was immediately struck by how quickly the author arouses one's interest in the happenings to the admirable central character in the series, a lady detective in Botswana. It is a very pleasant account, with surges of concern for the good people involved. Remnds me of Barbara Pym, in an African setting. I should have read the books between the first volume and this one, I suppose, but that did not detract from enjoying this very enjoyable and pleasant volume. I can see why the series is so popular.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 140007570X, Paperback)In this latest, widely praised addition to the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, the charming and ever-resourceful Precious Ramotswe finds herself faced with new challenges—and intriguing surprises.Precious is busier than usual at the detective agency when she discovers an intruder in her house on Zebra Drive—and perhaps even more baffling--a pumpkin on her porch. Her associate, Mma Makutsi, also has a full plate. She's taken up dance lessons, only to be partnered with a man with two left feet. And at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where Mr J.L.B. Matekoni is already overburdened with work, one of his apprentices has run off with a wealthy older woman. But what finally rattles Mma Ramotswe’s normally unshakable composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a difficult secret from her past.
