Number One Ladies Detective Agency

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and other books in the Alexander McCall Smith series.  "The latest installment in the series (Blue Shoes and Happiness) was on the bestseller list earlier this year, but you need to read them in order. This book is more about the characters and the land and the move away from the ‘old ways’ than about mysteries. The characters really grow on you.” My mother-in-law also enjoyed 44 Scotland Street by Smith.
