Morality For Beautiful Girls

More from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

De: Alexander McCall Smith

Narrado por: Lisette Lecat

The quick-witted, good-natured detective Mma "Precious" Ramotswe shines in this irresistible best seller. It continues the charming series that began with The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, hailed as one of the "International Books of the Year and the Millennium" by the Times Literary Supplement

Between intriguing new cases and troubling personal developments, Precious' hands are full. The four Miss Beauty and Integrity pageant finalists may have questionable moral fiber, and the brother of an important government worker has allegedly been poisoned. On top of all that, Precious' reliable fianci might be hiding something.

Life is more difficult than ever at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, but it's nothing a little clear thinking and a few mugs of bush tea can't candle.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Thoroughly engaging and entertaining." (Los Angeles Times)

Refreshing view of life in a small country

Precious Ramotswe, a "traditional" African lady solves the many problems that crowd into her life with grace and intelligence. Although her main mystery is that of an important government worker who fears his brother is being poisoned by an unworthy sister-in-law, Mma Ramotswe finds time to deal with a handicapped foster child, a fiance with health problems, and the needs of her valued assistant. She sails through adversity and washes away the muddles with bush tea and common sense.

The book is beautifully read by Lisette Lecat. Smith's musical prose is enhanced by her talents, and life in Botswana comes alive. It is a wonderful listening experience.

Hooked on the series!

Enjoying learning about life in Africa in these books. Eager to listen to the rest.

A wonderful series

Start with the first book and go forward. I don't think you will be disappointed. The characters are so real and likable. The stories are engrossing. Please don't miss this series.

An excellent reader makes this good book better.

Lisette Lecat is an excellent reader who adds much life to the story.

Another enchanting book in the series

Listening is the premier way to experience this book and series. The narrator is superb as she becomes the different characters!

wonderful characters

have read the first few books now and looking forward to the next. Have been to RSA and very near Botswana. The people there fascinate me and this author makes me feel as if I am there again.

Excellent

I am heading to the 4th book. So good. I love the stories. Looking forward to the new book

Kindness

This is my 2nd reading. This is a very sweet story. It is restful to listen to Ms. Levar’s voice.

Perfection in a Series

Occasionally I get a bit tired of No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books, though after a break I soon return. Morality For Beauitful Girls exceeds any caution I may have held. I believe it presents the maturation of McCall Smith's approach in this series at his best: well-timed and well-tuned wit, character self-analysis in just the right balance with the unfolding narrative, and the presentation of all to admire in Botswanan culture and world outlook. This is the one novel I would recommend to a somewhat reluctant newcomer: "Read this one first and you'll revel and wish to emulate surprising characteristics of Mme Ramatswe, her associates, and one nation's realism mingled with hope."

Wonderful fun.

Just lovely, refreshing and easy going fun with the characters of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency. enjoy!
