Publisher's summary

In this delightful 15th installment, Mma Ramotswe has her hands full both at home and in the office. To add to her current challenges, her devoted partner, Grace Makutsi, has decided to branch out on her own and open The Handsome Man's Deluxe Cafe. But even “Miss 97 Per Cent” can't quite meet all the demands of running a business - not to mention those that a lightning strike makes on her building. Eventually, she'll have to accept all the help she can get - even if it comes from a completely unexpected source.

Another heart warming installment

This was another heartwarming in installment in a series of some of my favorite characters. It was a great story although it was wrapped a little too neatly in the end.

Great Entertainment

This was a great addition to Smith’s No. 1 Ladies Detective series where problems are solved amicably.

As always a great story.

You cannot help but love these rich characters. From Mr. Jlb to Ma Macutsie you will chuckle many times at the situations they are in. Such a good read and the performance fantastic as always for this narrator Lisette Licat. Could listen to her all day. :)

Too much repetition

I think I've read too many of these. I'm sick of hearing about the 97% or whatever was on the secretary exam

Fun story!

Fun story, but the author exposes uncomfortable truth about where the characters have lived in their lives. It is a joy they have moved on and grown to the point that they can remember the past and help others with wisdom from their own natural experiences and now good lives.

Continuation of an excellent series

I really enjoyed the characters- you come to understand the way of life in Botswana and to understand the way of human nature. You grow with the characters from book to book and can't wait for the next adventure. Life is so enjoyable when it's simple and this book makes everything seemed enjoyable by being honest and kind.

As good as always!

I was hesitant to purchase this book because some of the reviews said it wasn't up to the usual standards. I am so glad I went ahead and bought it. It was great and just as good as any book in the series . Love these characters!
