The Good Husband of Zebra Drive (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency 8)

From: $1.99

In the life of Precious Ramotswe–a woman duly proud of her fine traditional build–there is rarely a dull moment, and in the latest installment in the universally beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series there is much happening on Zebra Drive and Tlokweng Road. Mma Ramotswe is experiencing staffing difficulties. First Mr. J.L.B. Mate-koni asks to be put in charge of a case involving an errant husband. But can a man investigate such matters as successfully as the number one lady detective can? Then she has a minor falling-out with her assistant, Mma Makutsi, who decides to leave the agency, taking the 97 percent she received on her typing final from the Botswana Secretarial College with her.

Along the way, Mma Ramotswe is asked to investigate a couple of tricky cases. Will she be able to explain an unexpected series of deaths at the hospital in Mochudi? And what about the missing office supplies at a local printing company? These are the types of questions that she is uniquely well suited to answer.

In the end, whatever happens, Mma Ramotswe knows she can count on Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, who stands for all that is solid and true in a shifting world. And there is always her love for Botswana, a country of which she is justifiably proud.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 28, 2007 Type: User Review On Mma Ramotswe and her good husband

This was the first book of Alexander McCall Smith I read and I liked it immediately. Mma Ramotswe, who runs The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, is in this book married with Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni. Preceding books in the series have seen the courtship...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 13, 2007 Type: User Review Great series! You must read the entire collection!

Delightful series. It is good to start with the first book, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, and read in order. We have reviewed at least two, in sequence each year, in our book club. Suitable for younger readers, as well. One develops a love...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 28, 2007 Type: User Review Another triumph for McCall Smith

I eagerly awaited this new installment in the series, and was not disappointed, although there were a few parts in this novel that moved slowly. The situations in this novel seemed real, the types of human relationship issues we all deal with on...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 20, 2007 Type: User Review The Best So Far!

My husband and I listened to this on our trips to my doctor and we really enjoyed this one. It has more than one subplot, and held our attention. As always, the narrator is wonderful. This series is like comfort food - always satisfying even if it...

What can I say? This is another charming installment in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I wish Mma Ramotswe and Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni really existed so I could meet them. At any rate, this series makes me want to visit Botswana. If you...
