Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Lisette Lecat doesn’t simply portray the characters in McCall Smith’s series…She is Mma Ramotswe, that robust, throaty, and ever-so-kind detective…Lecat brings so much love and skill to her rendition of the characters that this will charm both old fans and newcomers alike.” —Publishers Weekly (starred audio review)
“It’s also that rare thing—a quick, easy read that’s also an immersion into a culture completely different from our own…Mma Ramotswer is as pleasing as a cup of red bush tea.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Smith once again combines a loving depiction of ordinary life in modern Botswana with memorable characters and an engaging mystery…The author’s subtlety of touch and humane portrayal of figures at all levels of society will continue to win him new readers even as his deepening of the ties binding the main figures will satisfy those who have followed the lady detectives from their first recorded case.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Resonate[s] with poignancy, wisdom, and wit…[A] love letter to a country whose salubrious climate is matched by the warmth and humanity of its people.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Lisette Lecat performs…with her usual precision and vibrancy. Her portrayal of Precious Ramotswe, the wise and unflappable proprietor of Botswana’s leading detective business, makes her character even more endearing than she is in print.” —AudioFile
“Lecat’s sterling performance perfectly complements McCall Smith’s evocative writing, leading us into the characters’ thoughts and actions.” —Booklist (audio review)
