Title: Certainly a different setting!
Review: I picked up this book because I thought it might be different, and it certainly was. It is set in Botswana, and the heroine is Precious Ramotswe. She certainly is Precious, and this book is a delight. The book is very well-written and the cases that Precious works on as she sets up her detective agency in Gaborone in Botswana are complex and interesting. These cases are presented as vignettes in the book, and I found that each one was remarkable in its own right. And Precious herself is a treasure. She is portrayed as a full-figured African woman who is terribly interested in everyone else's business. And really, shouldn't a private detective be interested in everything that is going on? This looks like a promising series.
