The second installment of Mma Ramotswe's adventures--lighthearted, yet food for thought to me again. I enjoyed Mma Ramotswe's discussion with Mma Makutsi about whether (and when) it is okay to lie. Some felt that the book was overly moralizing, but I didn't think so--the characters never came to a definite conclusion about this issue of lying. Is it all right to lie to a "bad person" in order to help a "good person"? There is a lot of moral gray area there and it makes for interesting discussion.

I was always taught that lying was one of the worst possible things I could do, so I fell more into Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni's camp there. I don't think I would make a very good detective. ( )

Precious, against her better judgment, takes on a sad case from an American woman whose son went missing in #Botswana ten years ago. But she’s an intuitive and intelligent private detective, and brave. Meanwhile her engagement to Mr JLB Matekoni brings many surprises!! The second in an entertaining series, I’m anxious to read the next book! ( )

(audio) Mma Ramotswe runs the only detective agency in Botswana. She tries to find a man missing in Africa for 10 years while newly engaged to JLB Matekoni.

Light enjoyable read. At some stage read the next in the series. ( )

A nice, light read. ( )
