Acerca de esta escucha
Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series has become a worldwide phenomenon thanks to the appeal of endearing protagonist Precious Ramotswe and the author’s charmingly quirky prose. In this 13th installment, Mma Ramotswe’s attention is focused on a pesky disciplinary problem at her adopted daughter’s school - while Grace Makutsi adjusts to wedded bliss and the famed Clovis Andersen arrives in Botswana looking for more than bush tea.

Mma "Precious" Ramotswe sets up a detective agency in Botswana on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, making her the only female detective in the country. At first, cases are hard to come by. But eventually, troubled people come to Precious with a variety of concerns. Potentially philandering husbands, seemingly schizophrenic doctors, and a missing boy who may have been killed by witch doctors all compel Precious to roam about in her tiny van, searching for clues.

It is said that a picture may be worth a thousand words, but an old photograph can inspire many more. In this beguiling book, Alexander McCall Smith casts his eye over five chanced-upon photographs from the era of black-and-white photography and imagines the stories behind them. Who were those people, what were their stories, why are they smiling, what made them sad?

Detective Ulf Varg from the Department of Sensitive Crimes is often called upon to investigate unusual matters. But rarely is he asked to conduct an inquiry on behalf of his own family. Is such a thing ethical? Adding to Ulf's moral discomfort is the fact that he does not exactly see eye to eye with his younger brother Bjorn - a leading player in one of Sweden's right-wing parties, the Moderate Extremists. Still, family is family, so Ulf finds himself working to uncover the mole leaking secrets to a rival party, the Extreme Moderates.

In the words of Alexander McCall Smith: "You feel the rocking of the train, you hear the sound of its wheels on the rails; you are in the world rather than suspended somewhere above it. And sometimes there are conversations to be had, which is what the overarching story in this collection is all about. It is a simple device: people brought together entertain one another with tales of what happened to them on trains. It takes place on a journey I frequently make myself and know well, the journey between Edinburgh and London. It is best read on a train, preferably that one."

In this dual collection of short stories, Alexander McCall Smith brings his trademark humor and warmth to inventive tales of spying and vengeance. In one story, a spy dropped deep into enemy territory manages to disguise himself—quite convincingly—as a nun. In another, an invitation to join the Vatican Secret Service sends a prospective operative down a rabbit hole of controversy and confusion. A third story finds an author, on the brink of public ruin, seeing the error of his ways after an act of kindness saves the day.

It is 1938 and the final days of the British Empire. In a bungalow high up in the green hills above the plains of Ceylon, under a vast blue sky, live the Ferguson family: Bella, a precocious eight-year-old; her father Henry—owner of Pitlochry, a tea plantation—and her mother Virginia. The story centres around the Pavilion in the Clouds, set in the idyllic grounds carved out of the wilderness. But all is not as serene as it seems. Bella is suspicious of her governess, Miss White’s intentions.

Trouble in Botswana
If you could sum up The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection in three words, what would they be?
Many issues are facing and the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and a special visitor has come to see them. Once again the Ladies are getting involved and helping others. As always, the characters are interesting and yet reflect our everyday issues of trust and doing the right thing. I'm ready for the next adventure.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked how Clovis Anderson was helpful, humble and in the end was himself healed.
Which scene was your favorite?
I was happy that there was resolution for Grace and Putti with their house. I was afraid that wasn't going to have a happy ending.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did both-that's the way with Botswana
Any additional comments?
I love this narrator. Don't think I can ever just "read" these books again. So great to hear her voice. Makes me feel like I'm there in Botswana and the Speedy Motors.

Delightful and thoughtful as always
Alexander McCall Smith does it again. His stories about Precious and her friends and family are a wonderful break from the realities of the world. I love that the series stresses living a thoughtful and intentional life.
Lisette Lecat does a wonderful job of reading.
The Corduroy Mansion series, also by McCall Smith, is equally delightful.

Great ending
Love visiting Botswana this way. Have not listened to anything in this series for a while so this was like visiting with old friends. And I did really like the ending.

What a delight, as always.
Lisette Lecat brings to life the wonderful, endearing characters of the author. I feel I know each one and I take joy in their triumphs and sadness in their troubles.

No matter where we are we still are there.
Love the many ways to slow down and be still. For when we are still we see more. That is what one detective from the United States learned from Precious. To met a hero of yours and to simply see him, Precious saw this and while he taught her a few things, she gave him so much more. It is never easy to met a hero but she also met him……. Thank you for such exquisite work of words and insights! It has been a pleasure.

Has A.M. Smith ever written a bad book?
No. He never has. Precious Ramotse (sp) is just as wonderful as ever and the people are as peculiar and somehow everything all works out in the end. I love the Scottish books and these books. And Lisette Lecat is one of my favorite narrators. She can do any accent in the world. A delight.

The girls are at it again!
I love every one of these books! The stories are fun, much like Seinfeld in the way of a show about nothing but it's about everything! Real life.

Beautiful prose, beautifully executed!
Smith is a master storyteller and creates the world of Mma Ramotse and makes it feel absolutely real. In turn, Lisette Lecat makes the characters come alive and stay true to their voices-a very clever and talented lady!

Pure, uplifting enjoyment!
Among the most heartwarming of all the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. The world seems like a better place when considered through the eyes of Mma Ramotswe. The narrator, Ms. Lecat, is perfect for the part.
