Review: The Miracle at Speedy Motors

The Miracle at Speedy Motors The Miracle at Speedy Motors by Alexander McCall Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Continuing life in Botswana and the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency things are moving smoothly for the assistant detective. Her fiancé has bought a new bed for them and had it delivered to her house. Unfortunately, the bed couldn't fit through the door.

Precious finds herself in problems over a mistaken identity and her husband very unselfishly takes their adopted handicapped daughter to a very expensive clinic in Johannesburg.

Charlie appears to be maturing and settling down.

Such enjoyable stories and cases in the everyday life of the agency. Each book makes you feel like you are coming home. I love the polite culture; the way they always refer to each other as Mr. or Mrs. They don't call people fat, but rather traditionally built. People are not dead, they are late. They always use the most polite terms and traditional ways for everything.
