5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual location -- delightful characters, Sep 9 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Morality for Beautiful Girls (Paperback)
Morality for Beautiful Girls is third in a series about Precious Ramotswe, a lady detective in Botswana, Africa. For this Midwestern reader the landscape, weather, and daily life in Botswana were fascinating and clearly depicted.

This is not your typical mystery--there is no murder to be solved. Ramotswe and her assistant detective cleverly handle a couple of cases for clients, but her personal life is just as interesting: moving the office, caring for two foster children, and handling the auto repair shop belonging to her fiance who has suddenly begun acting strangely. Ramotswe deals with both the problems of her clients and her personal life in a thorough and straight-forward manner.

I had to buy the first two books in the series (The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, and Tears of the Giraffe) from Amazon.UK, so I was very happy to find this third book on Amazon.com.

For something just a little different--highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice read, April 7 2005
By Mikhail "mike" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Morality for Beautiful Girls (Paperback)
This book goes to bolster my initial opinion that McCall Smith is a sensational writer to look out for. The book goes to make the series a worthy read. I am particularly drawn to the way the author wrote about the way of life this African country especially its remarkable values. What is more, the characters are real and warm-hearted , and they give the story the humor that is necessary for an interesting life.

Other fun books to read are: The usurper and Other stories, The Kalahari Typing School for Men, Disciples of Fortune

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a page turning mystery, but nice read, Jul 8 2004
By A Customer
This is the second book I have read in this series and still have the impression that these books are very light on mystery. I guess I would have to say this is more true for this book than the first one I read. I have to agree with several of the other reviewers that there seemed to be more lose ends (or losely tied ends) that really didn't leave me satisfied. Beyond that, as a fictional read, the descriptions of the people and country have been consistantly good in both books.
