Has anyone read “The Nr.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series by Alexander McCall Smith?
What wonderful reading! My favourite in the series is “The Kalahari Typing School For Men”. It is quite NB to read them in the right order.
The series is set in Botswana and the protagonist is Mma Precious Ramotswe. Mma Ramotswe is in her own words “a traditionally built lady”, and she speaks with disdain of the new trend of being skinny the young girls follow.
Mma Ramotswe is a private detective, but the cases she investigates is not quite what one would expect. Mma Ramotswe’s methods are also rather unique.
The books provide an easy read, the prose is light and immensely funny. The underlying tone is quite thought provoking, the characters real and the plot entertaining.

Strangely enough I didn't enjoy them. But then again I have odd tastes :)
I must admit that I didn't like his Isobel Dalhousie books which are set in Scotland
