Critics Review

There is something almost divinely appealing about the way McCall Smith writes about daily life in Botswana … it is hard to think of a contemporary writer more genuinely engaging … [his] novels are also extremely funny: I find it impossible to think about them without smiling - Mail on Sunday

Forget the library - the body is in the mud hut. An African Miss Marple created by a Scottish lawyer … superb - Sunday Times

Totally addictive - Daily Mail

A small slice of heaven - Scotsman

Hooray - the unstobbable fiction-machine that is Mr Alexander McCall Smith has returned to the mothership … Two new clients turn up [with] a problem that will take more than one pot of Mrs Ramotswe’s redbush tea to solve, and she solves it with her trademark humanity, warmth and charm. Irresistible - The Times
