Korte biografie
ALEXANDER McCALL SMITH has a double existence. He is a Professor of Medical Law, but also an author who has now written over fifty books on a wide range of subjects. These range from specialist titles such as 'Forensic Aspects of Sleep', (the only book on the subject) to 'The Criminal Law of Botswana' (also the only book on the subject) and from the widely translated 'The Perfect Hamburger' (a children's novel) to 'Portuguese Irregular Verbs' (a collection of stories about eccentric German professors). His collection of African stories, 'Children of Wax', received critical acclaim and has been the subject of an award-winning film.

Emma door Alexander McCall Smith
Leuk boek... einde ietwat flauw als de pittige intrigante Emma plots verandert in een berouwvol attent iemand.

Het Geheim Van De Krokodil Een Mma Ramotswe Roman door Alexander McCall Smith
Mevrouw Ramotswe begint een privé-detectivebureau in Afrika. In het begin is het niet gemakkelijk om geld in het laatje te krijgen; ze moet eerst een klantenkring opbouwen. Haar opdrachten brengen haar in bizarre situaties. Het hele boek bestaat eigenlijk uit kleine verhaaltjes; zaken die ze moet oplossen. Als rode draad erdoorheen loopt de vermissing van een jongetje.
Het was een dun boekje en hoewel vermakelijk viel het me in zijn geheel wel tegen. Ik had het spannender verwacht, maar Mma Ramotswe komt het min of meer zo aanwaaien. Kortom; het ging te gemakkelijk allemaal.… (meer)

Graan; Het meisje dat geluk had; Met alle geweld;… door Ruben van Dijk/ Kerry Reichs/ William G. Tapply/ Alexander McCall Smith
GRAAN; Ruben van Dijk

Wanneer wereldwijd de graanoogsten massaal en op mysterieuze wijze mislukken, dreigt er een acuut voedseltekort te ontstaan. In Nederland wordt in allerijl een nationaal coördinatieteam gevormd, dat de voedselcrisis in goede banen moet leiden. Peter Vink, een jonge ambitieuze politicus, wordt gevraagd woordvoerder te worden van het team. Al gauw komt hij er achter dat het niet zomaar een speling is van de natuur, maar dat er een vooropgezet plan is. Als een van zijn andere teamleden op brute wijze wordt vermoord, komt Peter terecht in een dodelijk spel van spionage en contraterrorisme...

HET MEISJE DAT GELUK HAD; Kerry Reichs

Maeve Connelly is vastbesloten haar leven te veranderen en haar eigen geluk af te dwingen. Ze begint aan een heroïsche reis dwars door de Verenigde Staten, met haar kaketoe Oliver en Elsie, de klassieke auto waar ze in rijdt, als enige gezelschap. Maar waar vlucht Maeve eigenlijk voor weg? En zal ze in een stadje dat nota bene Unknown heet haar geluk vinden?

MET ALLE GEWELD; William G. Tapply

Brady Coyne is een advocaat die je graag zou willen leren kennen en als buurman zou willen hebben - sympathiek, bescheiden en vol verantvvoordelijksgevoel. Om die reden roept zijn voormalige vriendin, Alex Shaw, zijn hulp in bij de echtscheiding van haar broer Gus. Voordat Brady echter zijn nieuwe cliënt bij kan staan, wordt Gus dood aangetroffen in zijn huis. Alles lijkt te wijzen op zelfmoord. Maar wie spoorde hem aan tot een dergelijke daad... en waarom?

HET ORKEST DAT DE WERELD REDT; Alexander McCall Smith

Alexander McCall Smith is gespecialiseerd in ontroerende levensgeschiedenisen. Dit boek speelt zich af in Suffolk en gaat over moed in tijden van oorlog, hoop en een tedere liefde die lang op zich laat wachten. Hij beschrijft treffend hoe een kleine dorpsgemeenschap zich aanpast aan de veranderingen die de Tweede Wereldoorlog met zich meebrengt. De dorpelingen worden daarbij geholpen door La, die sinds kort op het platteland woont en een amateurorkest vormt. La weet veel mensen een hart onder de riem te steken en uiteindelijk wordt ook zijzelf gelukkig.
