5.0 out of 5 stars A nice read, April 6 2005
By 
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual location -- delightful characters, Sep 9 2001
By A Customer
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 Beautiful change, July 3 2004
This review is from: Morality for Beautiful Girls: A No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Novel (3) (Paperback)
It is really a great series! The changes in this book makes it fresh and gives it a new twist. Not only does she have an assistant who proves to be as wise and intelligent, but Mma's new approach to solving problems and understanding people's behavior is the main issue in this book. It shifts a little from the route of culture, and emphasizes on everyday issues just like in any other place. We don't see Mma explaining traditions and their meaning, but trying to understand human nature, whether it was depression or revenge, she finds a way to show reality and truth, even her assistant found her own way of facing truth.

I can't wait to find out what is going to happen to Mr. Matekoni, and what happened to the ring?!!
