A delightful read with a relaxed pace. Smith introduces us to the charming Mme Ramotswe and takes us through several of her cases; each is a little short but revolve around helping her community. Smith does a great job immersing the reader in the setting (Botswana).
My only complaint is that I would have liked at least one case to have been handled a little more indepth; otherwise I found the cases to be clever and unique.
I look forward to reading more in the series.
