Synopsis

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #8

The Good Husband of Zebra Drive is the eighth in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series of novels by Alexander McCall Smith, set in Gaborone, Botswana, and featuring the Motswana protagonist Precious Ramotswe. Grace Makutsi is promoted to associate detective and handles a case herself.

In the life of Precious Ramotswe - a woman duly proud of her fine traditional build - there is rarely a dull moment, and in the latest instalment in the universally beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series there is much happening on Zebra Drive and Tlokweng Road.

Mma Ramotswe is experiencing staffing difficulties. First Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni asks to be put in charge of a case involving an errant husband. But can a man investigate such matters as successfully as the number one lady detective can? Then she has a minor falling-out with her assistant, Mma Makutsi, who decides to leave the agency, taking the 97 percent she received on her typing final from the Botswana Secretarial College with her . . .

In the end, whatever happens, Mma Ramotswe knows she can count on Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, who stands for all that is solid and true in a shifting world. And there is always her love for Botswana, a country of which she is justifiably proud.

External Reviews

"McCall Smith's saga is evolving into a rich tapestry of extraordinary nuance & richness" - Wall Street Journal.

"I recommend this book as a small vacation from life's big concerns. It goes well with an evening of leisure and a nice, hot cup of red bush tea."

"AMS is a wonderful author, because he has a sensitive eye and feels things deeply, has a terrific, wry sense of humour and conveys all of these wonderfully through his characters. They are people you'll enjoy spending time with . . ."
