What did you like about this audiobook?

I love the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. Lizette LeCarr does a good job. This story had a dramatic event with an outcome I didn't quite expect. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Time for Tea

As always, a delightful telling of the stories of the lovely ladies of the #1 Ladies Detective Agency and their family and friends. Beautifully written and narrated. Brew a cup of tea and settle in for a wonderful time.

ANOTHER GRAND ADVENTURE!

It's always a treat to return to Botswana with Mme. & the familiar characters. It's just like coming home to family, to that comfortable place where one rests peacefully, reassuringly, knowing all will be well, with the conviction of the simple innocence wrapped up within a child's heart, untethered by the binding concerns of a complicated and oft times corrupted world, breathing easily, taking in the mindset of a better, gentler, more human time when people thought better of each other and of themselves.

Never a disappointment

I am fearful of the day I run out of this series! The calm predictability of a story in an unknown places such a good distraction from our crazy world.
