Precious Ramotswe has taken on two puzzling cases. First, she is approached by the lawyer Mma Sheba, who is the executor of a deceased farmer’s estate. Mma Sheba has a feeling that the young man who has stepped forward may be falsely impersonating the farmer’s nephew in order to claim his inheritance. Mma Ramotswe agrees to visit the farm and find out what she can about the self-professed nephew.

Then the proprietor of the Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon comes to Mma Ramotswe for advice. The opening of her new salon has been shadowed by misfortune. Not only has she received a bad omen in the mail, but rumors are swirling that the salon is using dangerous products that burn people’s skin. Could someone be trying to put the salon out of business?

Meanwhile, at the office, Mma Ramotswe has noticed something different about Grace Makutsi lately. Though Mma Makutsi has mentioned nothing, it has become clear that she is pregnant . . . But in Botswana - a land where family has always been held above all else - this may be cause for controversy as well as celebration.

With genuine warmth, sympathy, and wit, Alexander McCall Smith explores some tough questions about married life, parenthood, grief, and the importance of the traditions that shape and guide our lives.

Alexander McCall Smith, Thank you for giving me such joy in all your series. No 1 Ladies Detective Agency still has my number one Lady detectives. Mma Ramotswe always gets to the bottom and the heart of the mystery. She does this through integrity, keen observation, Clovis Anderson's rules of private detection and a little help from her friends.Can't wait for the next installment when Mma Makutse is full partner. I am sure it will be funny and heartwarming.

McCall Smith needs no minor adjustments

Wonderful characters who evolve over the books, a terrific narrator who makes you feel the humor and pathos, and a gentle, yet interesting story.

I love these stories

Alexander McCall Smith is not only an accomplished author; he has many other abilities in the field of music and medicine. His stories are charming as are his characters. Although I’m unfamiliar with the language of Botswana, I believe he has captured its cadence through the voices of those who tell their stories. Now, I wish only to visit this country for which McCall Smith has so much admiration. Will I be able to find a 5-star virtual YouTube tour!

One of the Best!

What did you love best about The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon?

The main reason I continue to "read" books in this series is the narration by Lisette Lecat. She brings the story to life.

What about Lisette Lecat’s performance did you like?

I enjoy the voices she uses and learning the correct pronunciations of the places mentioned.

Great Narration

How nice to be able to listen to the wonderful narration of Lisette Lecat telling the tale of another phase of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency! Always a pleasure to slow down a bit and continue the story of Precious, Grace and their families. If you've read others in this series, you certainly won't be disappointed with this one.

Another Sweet Story

Loved it! McCall Smith is a compelling author. After reading the first in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series and The World According to Bertie I decided to listen to one of his books. Lecat performed fabulously when narrating this book.

Great book! Great narrator!

.... and more about Itumalang Clovis Rhadaphuti. I may have spelled the name incorrectly, because I have not seen it in print. Either way, he is there also, and Charley grows up a little.
As ever, Lisette Lecat has the words down pat, and they just flow easily over her tongue.
Still a pure delight.

A little more involved....

Entertaining, a good book. Will listen to other Alexander McCall books. Loved the narrator, Lisette Lecat.

Good Listen

A baby brings a new dimension to these stories. There are times when there are touching thoughts and reflections on the nature of humanity.

Lighthearted but thoughtful.
