Precious Ramotswe, that cheerful Botswanan private investigator of 'traditional build', is well-known to millions across the world through the best-selling No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Those who have been following her exploits in five previously published novels will soon be able to savour the next instalment, in which, as usual, circumstances are never as straightforward as they seem and events take a more than unexpected turn. Precious Ramotswe, is now married to Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. The Agency is busy, but Mma Ramotswe cannot ignore the plea which is made to her by a woman who comes to her with a tale of particular misfortune. Unfortunately, her attempts to help are interrupted by a close encounter between her tiny white van and a bicycle, and by a spectacular disagreement between her assistant, Mma Makutsi, and one of the apprentices at the garage. This apprentice has found a fancy girlfriend who drives a large silver Mercedes-Benz. How can he be rescued from his folly? And as for Mma Makutsi, she has found a dancing class, and a man who may not be able to dance very well but who admires her greatly. And all of this happens against a background of quiet sessions of bush tea, and of a land that stretches out forever under mile upon mile of empty sky.

This is a great series, the author is so talented, and the characters are so lovable, but this one isn't my favorite. For one thing (I noticed this in every book of the series I've read), the younger apprentice's character is barely developed (I think they only even mention his name once in the entire series).
There's also (imho) a theme of women submitting to men. Although the women protagonists are smart and strong, when the "good" men in the series make mistakes, the women are typically expected to fix everything and/or stroke the men's egos. It's unusual for the men to ever admit they were wrong (I can't recall them explicitly saying so in the series).
The author talks a lot about how women manipulate men, which is at times funny, but it can get old. Many conflicts in the books involve women undoing another "manipulative woman's" effect on a "good man." It's as if it's a woman's job to protect men from other women, and that being manipulative is a characteristic of women.
Although there are countless times that men are manipulative, if they're "good men," their manipulations are typically overlooked, excused, and sometimes the women even submit to it BECAUSE the manipulative people are "good men."
Being manipulative is part of the human condition & has nothing to do with gender. There are people who are that way, and people who tend not to be, and there are people of every gender that are manipulative for "good" reasons, versus those who manipulate others to achieve bad/evil ends. The author makes it more about gender (imho) and seems to excuse it in men if they're "good."
If you like the series, you'll probably like this book. I love the series, but this one isn't my favorite.

As if this series weren't already replete with characters we love, this volume introduces Mma Grace Makutsi's enthusiastic new dance partner/admirer, Phuti Radiphuti, a stutterer with two left feet with whom nobody else will dance. It's nice to see some romance enter Mma Makutsi's life.

Doriel

In this series, Alexander McCall Smith establishes a peaceful, hot, beloved corner of Africa. He clearly has a love for Africa. The protagonist is wise and in possession of wiles to get the best result for her clients, and for the community at large. But like all of us, she has some blind spots to her own faults. These books are funny and pleasant to read. I look forward to going to Mma Ramotswe's world, where human folly is problematic, but understandable. These are a palate cleanser for those who love mysteries, but tire of gritty, violent, depressing ones all the time. (I still go back to the g, v, depressing ones, too.)

Broadraven

The 6th entry in this series has plenty of humorous scenes, but they are tempered with some poignant considerations of what life is like for those slightly on the edge of popularity.

Two new characters are introduced. Mr. Popoletsi is hired as a new employee of Speedy Motors and proves himself a worthy addition to our more familiar group of friends. The relationship between Mma Rakutsi and Phuti Radiphuti is told with both tenderness and restraint.

If you're looking for a gentle but interesting book, try any of this series. They always have a calming influence, and help the reader understand what is truly important in life.

I discovered this series only recently and I can understand why, as I found out, it is such a world-wide success and why Mma Ramotswe has become such an icon. It is not great, ponderous literature -- it is much more than that! The plots are simple but well done; the writing very pleasant. However, in my opinion neither plot nor style, perfectly unobjectionable as they are, are these books' main attraction. The characters are, and their interaction. The people come to life all the time: wise, funny, loyal, weak -- completely human. There are great life lessons to be learned in these apparently simple books, from love for humanity, to the need for forgiveness and respect. Objects, and the land, also play an important and unforgettable role. I barely knew where to find Botswana on the world map before, and now it is so vivid in my mind as if I lived there for ever. One warmly given suggestion: read these books chronologically. You will enjoy them even if your read them in an hapazard order, but if you read them as they were written you will be drawn even more into this jewel of a world.
