Resumen del Editor

In the latest installment of this infinitely enjoyable and best-selling series, Precious Ramotswe is doing what she does best--helping people with their problems and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

Mma Ramotswe is busy investigating her latest case: a woman who is looking for her family. The problem is, the woman doesn't know her real name of whether any members of her family are now living. Meanwhile, Phuti Radiphuti has bought Mma Makutsi a glorious new bed. Unfortunately, it will inadvertently cause her several sleepless nights. And life is no less complicated at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni--Mma Ramotswe's estimable husband--has fallen under the sway of a doctor who has promised a miracle cure for his daughter's medical condition, which Mma Ramotswe finds hard to believe. But Precious Ramotswe deals with these difficulties with her usual grace and good humor, and in the end discovers that the biggest miracles in life are often the small ones.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Alexander McCall Smith's big-hearted Botswanan stories [allow] his readers to escape into a world of simple, picturesque pleasures and upstanding virtues." ( The New York Times Book Review)
"The best, most charming, honest, hilarious, and life-affirming books to appear in years." ( The Plain Dealer)

simple story telling

I recommend this latest book in the #1 Ladies Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith. In this series, the characters are funny and human, without the violence and sex that are so often elements of mystery books. If you are in the mood for a light simple story, this will fill that need. If you are following the series as I am, you'll wonder if Precious Ramotswe's "engaged" assistant detective, Grace Makutsi will ever get married; maybe in the next book. I can't help but want to rush the storyteller! Just like in life, things happen in their own time.

i still don't like the narrator

Please get some diversity and representation for your characters. white people aren't the only people who can read

Miracle

As always -- A. Smith? It is such a pleasure to read his books -- ever so uplifting & pleasant. Nothing very stressful, just a pleasure to read!! Thank you!!

I love these books!

I love being immersed in Botswana and the characters of the No 1 ladies detective agency. Each book is a joy and imparts a lesson in kindness and gratitude.

Entertaining !!

Alexander McCall Smith's books are all wonderful.

love going to Botswana!

I have loved this series, right up to now...just finished the Miracle....and am feeling a little disappointed. MaRomotswe was not her happy optimistic self. Ms Lecat was fabulous as always#

The story is a miracle

The reader is perfect, timing equally to the majestic simplicity of this book. The story has subplots that are wise stories about how we could be in tough times.

Just lovely --

Another pleasant little tale -- nothing deep, but I don't listen to this author for deep -- just to amuse myself.... and it does amuse!

Totally Addictive

I have found all the titles in the No.1 Ladies detective agency series fabulous. Miracle at speedy motors did not disappoint. They are light mysteries with superb character development and breath-takingly discriptive settings. No sooner am I finished with the newest title and I find myself longing for the next.

An Excellent Series

My goal for this year is to read the entire series. I read the series several years ago. There weren't as many books in the series at that time.

If is a "clean" read. With romance, mystery, suspense and a look at a different part of the world. I highly recommend it.
