This is along the same lines as the rest of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series in that it's very charming, good, and gives me that nice warm feeling when I've finished.

As always, it's not so much a mystery as an observation on human nature. I'm always a bit surprised that the series has continued to be compelling since this is the ninth entry and they're all fairly mellow books without huge drama.

Definitely recommended to anyone who has read the rest of the series, and to anyone who hasn't I highly recommend picking them up if you're looking for a good story. As always, they're especially good books to read if you brew up some bush tea to sip along with it.
