 stiff PC prose January 28, 2002

Read the sample pages on Amazon...the author obviously set himself the task of raising consciousness about life in Africa, specifically female life in Botswana. His political purpose may be admirable but the writing is stiff, preachy, and ultimately uninteresting. Not wretched, but a chore to read. How many women refer to a prospective fiance in their most private thoughts as Mr. J. L. B. Jones? 'Nuff said.
 Unusual location -- delightful characters September 10, 2001

Morality for Beautiful Girls is third in a series about Precious Ramotswe, a lady detective in Botswana, Africa. For this Midwestern reader the landscape, weather, and daily life in Botswana were fascinating and clearly depicted. This is not your typical mystery--there is no murder to be solved. Ramotswe and her assistant detective cleverly handle a couple of cases for clients, but her personal life is just as interesting: moving the office, caring for two foster children, and handling the auto repair shop belonging to her fiance who has suddenly begun acting strangely. Ramotswe deals with both the problems of her clients and her personal life in a thorough and straight-forward manner. I had to buy the first two books in the series (The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, and Tears of the Giraffe) from Amazon.UK, so I was very happy to find this third book on Amazon.com. For something just a little different--highly recommended.
