The Miracle at Speedy Motors is the ninth installment in the series of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agencyand Mma Ramotswe is back for more mystery-solving, although we all know by now that solving mysteries is not the point of these books. The point is to be back in Botswana, with a traditional-size woman who understands the deep pleasure of a morning cup of tea and the intricacies of living in a community where everyone either knows you or will not rest until they discover a personal link between their family and yours.
Soothing and quietly happy, like all Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books.
