(audio) Stealing in a print shop, mysterious deaths in hospital, wife wants proof husband cheating on her. La vie coule doucement Ă Zebra Drive. Mme Ramatsowe enquĂŞte, son mari tente d’élucider une affaire et l’assistante dĂ©missionne sur un coup de tĂŞte. Des enquĂŞtes sans drame, des personnages dĂ©crits avec bienveillance et un univers africain chaleureux. Après quelques volumes cependant, le modèle s’essouffle et peine Ă se renouveler. To me, reading this series is like slipping into comfy slippers and grabbing a soft, warm blanket. Mma Ramotswe is a charming, levelheaded character, and the crimes she handles are never gruesome. Mma Ramotswe and Botswanna pride themselves on being civil and honest, for the most part. In this story, there's a lot of unrest at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and the Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. Mma Makutsi, Mma Ramotswe's assistant is feeling underappreciated, and decides to pursue another job, and Charlie, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's apprentice, also decides the same thing. Their absence leaves a noticeable emptiness in the office. There is a wife who believes her husband is cheating on her, and there have been 3 unexplained deaths in a local hospital. All will be sorted out, over many cups of tea. This series is a world away from my usual literary tastes--I'm a glutton for the Victorian/Edwardian British sentimental novel, and these are set in modern-day Botswana and introduce a lifestyle that is foreign to me. They were recommended to me some years ago, and I read several but then stopped. I'm starting to pick them up again. They're quite smooth reading and narrate the thought processes of the characters in a way that's entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking. I do recommend them! They deal with a lady detective, her mechanic husband (an uncomplicated, kind, reliable and occasionally self-doubting man), her assistant (Grace Makutsi, graduate of the Botswana Secretarial College, the smartest in the class, but also the least flashy, now engaged to be married, to her own great amazement), and various other people who are part of their lives. There are at least three detective cases being handled with varying degrees of skill, as well as various other small incidents that create a fully-formed, well-realized world. And they drink lots of tea. I'm particularly fond of the concept of making your own life better through..."acts of love, acts of tea, acts of laughter." La llegada de la primavera ya se percibe en el rojo de la tierra, en las acacias y en las lentas y verdes aguas de los rĂos de Botsuana, aunque en Zebra Drive, donde viven Mma Ramotswe y su querido esposo J.L.B. Matekoni, no se respira la tranquilidad habitual. En La Primera Agencia de Mujeres Detectives el ritmo de trabajo es el acostumbrado, aunque se percibe cierto descontento entre las trabajadoras. Ya es malo que Charlie, el aprendiz de Mr. Matekoni, estĂ© fuera en otra aventura y que la inminente boda de Mma Makutsi estĂ© amenazando sus gratas relaciones laborales con Mma Ramotswe. Y cuando J.L.B. Matekoni, tratando de demostrarse a sĂ mismo que es un marido esforzado, decide hacer un trabajillo detectivesco, se avecina el desastre… geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
