Precious And Grace – Alexander McCall Smith
Digital audiobook performed by Lisette Lecat
3***

Book # 17 in the hugely popular “No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” series, has Mma Precious Ramotswe and her “co-director” Mma Grace Makutsi at loggerheads once again over updating office practices vs relying on tried and true methods. This time their cases include a Canadian woman, originally raised in Botswana, who wants to reconnect with her nanny, and a closer-to-home case involving a Ponzi scheme. Then there’s the stray dog than Fanwell has brought to the agency.

I love this series. I enjoy spending time with these people, though I rather missed Mr J L B Matekoni who barely appears in this episode. Mma Ramotswe can always be relied upon to consider carefully the underlying motives and various options for dealing with any problem. While Mma Makutsi is frequently the one to rush forward, perhaps jumping to the wrong conclusion, or arriving at the right answer but for the wrong reason!

Lisette Lecat does a marvelous job of performing the audio books. She brings these characters to life. 5* for her performance!

Jgrace | 3944 comments The most recent book, #21, wasn't read by Lecat. I simply couldn't listen to someone else. So, for the first time I actually read the book.
