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

And the story continues...
While this addition to the "No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" saga begins a little more slowly than its predecessors (in my humble opinion), Smith continues to deliver the wit and wisdom of Mma Ramotswe in an entertaining and enlightening fashion....

Disappointing
I usually quite enjoy the Number One Ladies' stories, but all the time while reading this one, I kept wondering if the author was actually going to use the old Urban Myth ([...]) about the mysterious deaths at the South African hospital. I told...

Shaken up and put back together
If you have already read previous volumes in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, you are familiar with the main characters: Precious Ramotswe, Grace Makutsi, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, Charlie and the never-named "younger apprentice." This time...

Another lovely read.
This installment in the No. 1 series is as delightful as the others. That being said, if you don't like the others, you most likely won't like this one. The pacing is similar, as is the tone. These are not your typical "mystery novels," and...

Still a breath of fresh air
Even less happens in this book than in the previous ones, but who cares? The subtly humorous writing, the memorable characters, the optimism and the flavour of Africa make this delightful series a regular treat.

A Joy to Read
All of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books are wonderful. They make one feel so good - you can't help but smile as you read. I have never wanted to visit Botswana more than while reading these novels.

The Good Husband of Zebra Drive
Once again Alexander McCall Smith entertains us and uplifts our spirits as Mma Ramotswe and her colleagues deal with human nature and developing world economics with resourcefulness and grace. Kudos to Mr. JLB for his quick thinking!

The Good Husband of Zebra Drive
As with all of McCall Smith's delightful novel/mysteries, The Good Husband of Zebra Drive is enchanting, but I didn't find myself laughing out loud as I had with most of the previous books in that series. It seemed to be more of a study in...

Excellent
The Good Husband of Zebra Drive - as usual, a wonderful story told simply but with the maturity and good sense of the characters.
