The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith (2007, Hardcover)

This book is the 8th in the NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE series, by Alexander McCall Smith. It is a sweet, charming series about an African lady who starts a detective agency with her inheritance.
This story revolves around the mysterious deaths at a local hospital and in this story, Precious Ramotswe's husband decides to try his hand at solving a crime.
I love these books and wait anxiously for each new story, this one was just as satisfying as each of the previous stories.

This book is a further development of the husband and wife relationship in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Smith, as always, deals with simple situations and highlights the positive aspects of the people in Botswana.

A daily trip to Botswana to spend time with some really nice people!
The series goes along at, what I find to be, a very soothing pace.
I never have to re-read and I'm never bored.

I liked that there were a lot of choices available to buy this book, and the one I got was cheap and in good condition. It was for my wife, she really enjoys these types of books, and I am sure she will like it.
One thing that bothers me is that the S&H options are limited and I think they are a bit excessive; this facts keeps me from buying more books from the site, cheers, Eugene

This is the 8th novel in the Ladies No.1 Detective Agency Series and I have read them all. These stories by Alexander McCall Smith are insightful, funny, fresh, clean, suspensful, with no foul language or violence. These stories are of the everyday lives of the people in and around Gaborone, Botswana, Africa and the detective work of Mma Ramotswe who helps keep things running smoothly.

There is something addictive about these novels and it is difficult to put them down once you start reading. I have shared them with my teenage grandchildren, both boys & girls, my friends and neighbors and they become "hooked". We are all hoping that Mr. Smith continue this series.
