Summary of this Book...
As the title describes - 'more from the No 1 ladies detective agency.' And the book is that. if you havn't read from this series before this book is still a winner.
I especially liked...
The different angle the book is written from. An african view is strange but delightful.
I didn't like...
Some bits did get tedious but you still enjoy the plot and the development of charcters throughtout the book.
The author of this Book...
The author has written a whole series on The No 1 ladies detective agency which are well worth the read and fun on all angles.
I recommend this Book because...
It is from a different perspective written from the setting of an African Country.
