A Song of Comfortable Chairs

No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 23

De: Alexander McCall Smith

Narrado por: Lisette Lecat

In this latest installment in the beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Grace Makutsi encounters a pair of quandaries that will require all of her and Mma Ramotswe's cleverness and generosity to resolve

Grace Makutsi's husband, Phuti, is in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market. Phuti has always been concerned with quality and comfort, but this new firm seems interested only in profits. To make matters worse, they have a slick new advertising campaign that seems hard to beat. Nonetheless, with Mma Ramotswe's help, Phtui comes up with a campaign that may just do the trick.

Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. Grace and Phuti agree to lend a hand, but the boy proves difficult to reach, and the situation is more than they can handle on their own. It will require not only all of their patience and dedication but also the help of Mma Ramotswe and the formidable Mma Potokwani in order to help the child.

Faced with more than her fair share of domestic problems, Mma Makutsi deals with it all with her usual grace. That, along with the kindness, generosity, and good sense that the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is known for, assures us that in the end, all these matters will be set right.

Another sweet story!

This collection just makes me feel good inside when I listen to it. Each book reminds us that tragic endings don’t have to be the norm and that there are just genuinely good people in the world. Oh what the world would be if we were inundated with goodness instead of fear.

Another good read

Thank goodness the original/former narrator has returned!! As smooth and as calming as a hot mug of Red Bush Tea! Thank you AMS

Happiness inducing

Love this series. The characters are so much fun and the plots in all the books are colorful and engaging. This book was no exception. Recommend the entire series!

Ma Ramatswe helps people with life again.

peaceful problem solving by the number one ladies detective agency once again. always a good conclusion.

The intricacies of the plans

The entire book was a delight! I had stopped listening because the narrator changed, but hopefully Ms LeCat is back to stay. (Please don’t tell me I just caught the end of her tenure!!)
As long as she narrates, I will listen to these wonderful books!

the narrator was excellent

lessons are hidden among the everyday lives of the two lady detectives whose personalities differ quite a bit

tired of mma Makutsi!

I haven't finished this last book, but I'm soo tired of Grace! She's constantly arguing about something and always wants to stand out. I love Precious and the other characters but honestly give Grace a rest!.

Poor narrator

I did not care for narrator of this book— not the usual,person that reads

Thankful Ms. Lecat has returned! ful

I was so disappointed that the narrator has been replaced in the last several books of this series. It seemed as if our well known and loved characters had changed. With the return of Ms. Lecat, this was a great listen.

Not disappointed

Another interesting story. I was surprised that nothing was mentioned about a character marrying in a prior book. Did I miss something?
