In The Good Husband of Zebra Drive we return to the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana. Precious Ramotswe, the ample and good-natured owner and celebrated detective, is experiencing staffing problems and her relationship with her assistant, Mma Makutsi, has become somewhat strained. However, in spite of such difficulties, the work of the agency must continue and, in this eighth volume in the series, we encounter a number of very intriguing cases. A series of three unfortunate incidents has happened in a hospital - each on the same day of the week and at the same time. Mr J.L.B. Matekoni is also drawn into the work of the agency when he investigates a case involving an errant husband. But can a man investigate such matters with as much skill as one of the ladies? Mma Ramotswe has her doubts about this. One thing that she does not doubt is the good nature of Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, who stands for all that is solid and true in a shifting world - as indeed does Mma Ramotswe herself.

Another episode of the #1 Ladies Detective Agency and well worth the read

Charming, warm and delightful
The writing style of Alexander McCall Smith makes you feel like you know the charactors. While a storyline about a private detective would seem as if it fit into the mystery catagory, the different cases are usually about a specific type of human relationships and frailty.
It reminds me of the "At home in Midford" books in the diverse but always interesting people who come into the #1 Ladies Detective Agency. I highly recommend these books

Start with # 1 and read in order
Really fun books to read. Not to long in length but, easy to keep interest. Having never been to Africa, it took a while to get used to the names of the people and the locations the events took place. I do recomend it to my friends.
