This is the first novel in the series, and centers around Precious Ramotswe, who has opened the first detective agency in the town of Gaborone. Whether it's tracking down a husband, uncovering a con man, or finding a missing boy, Precious is up for the task.I went into this with an assumption that it would be a mystery, focusing more on one particular case. Instead, it is a series of things that Precious solves, as she figures out how to be a detective. Relying mostly on her intuition and smarts, she alternates between coming off as very naive one moment, to very wise the next moment. While I liked her, and I enjoyed the book, I'm not sure if I'll pursue more in the series. So, an entertaining read, but not enough of a mystery for my mystery taste.
