Publisher's Summary
From internationally best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith comes the seventh novel in the phenomenally popular and endlessly charming series that began with The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Once again Botswana's only female detective, Mma Ramotswe, and her invaluable assistant, Mma Makutsi, puzzle out the mysteries of life while finding comfort in steaming mugs of bush tea.
Danger hits close to home when a cobra is found in Mma Ramotswe's office. Of less immediate danger, but greater general interest, are the faulty blood pressure measurements being recorded at the local clinic. But perhaps the biggest mystery is why Mma Makutsi's fiance has missed their usual dinner date. Is he discontented? And if so, will cramming her feet into a pair of fashionable blue shoes help Mma Makutsi find happiness?
Full of subtle wit and charming characters, Blue Shoes and Happiness is another unforgettable gem from McCall Smith.

What the Critics Say
"The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series is a literary confection of gossamer deliciousness....There is no end to the pleasure that may be extracted from these books." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Scotsman McCall Smith renders brisk, seamless tales that are both wry and profound. Amidst the mayhem (like the cobra that slithers its way into the detective agency's headquarters) are eloquent descriptions of the serene African country that holds a special place in his heart." (Booklist)
From AudioFile
Rejoice, all you listeners who love the gentle, sensitive voice of Lisette Lecat bringing to life the activities of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. In this seventh installment, as with the earlier novels, the pace is deliberately slow, and the attention is on human interactions, not drama. South African-born Lecat gives each of our detectives a distinct and likable persona. We treasure Mma Ramotswe's morality, common sense, and cleverness and warm to Mma Makutsi's ambition, enthusiasm, and hopes for love. While the cases may not be as interesting as some in the earlier novels, it is always a pleasure to let Lecat take us off to a kinder, gentler Africa. (c) AudioFile 2006
