It’s quite bad as I finished Tears of the Giraffe in 3 sittings. I would’ve finished it quicker but was meeting a friend yesterday and then I was very tired at bedtime. So I finished it today.
This is the second book in the No1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series by Smith. In this installment Mma Ramotswe is now engaged to Mr J L B Matekoni, much to his surprise. Mma Ramotswe is asked to find out what happened to somebody 10 years ago. She also has lots of surprises with her engagement – particularly the revelation that she will be mother to 2 orphan children. But does this bother her? She is marrying someone with a kind heart. She also has to contend with a jealous maid, which is a hilarious side story in this book.
This was simply wonderful and I loved it. Am now reading book 3, Morality for Beautiful Girls, which is shaping up to be just as good.
