"McCall Smith's novels are both very meditative and laugh-out-loud funny. If you've never read a No. 1 Ladies, now's the time. - Booklist

Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi have always relied on the advice of the classic guide to their trade, The Principles of Private Detection. But who is the eminent author, Mr Clovis Andersen, and what if he were to come to Botswana? That seems a very unlikely possibility, and yet. . . when Mr Andersen visits Botswana on holiday, he is delighted and intrigued to stumble across a roadside sign that reveals the existence of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Professional courtesy suggests that he call and announce himself.

Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuti are embarking on married life and building a new house - a tricky business under any circumstances but especially hazardous when the name of the contractor is the Joy and Light Building Company.
Industry Reviews
Praise for "The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection" and Alexander McCall Smith:

"Fans of the series will find much to enjoy.... It is all but impossible to criticise this novel." --
The Guardian

"To say McCall Smith is a literary phenomenon doesn't quite describe what has happened. He has become more of a movement, a worldwide club for the dissemination of gentle wisdom and good cheer." --
The Telegraph

"McCall Smith has few peers in capturing the quiet moments of people's lives, and his empathetic lead has one of the biggest hearts in modern literature." --
Publishers Weekly

"The gentle and telling portrait of the human condition lingers [after reading]." --
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
