Reviews

Everything about [McCall Smith] is appealing. He's just full of delight - it just bubbles out of him * Sunday Herald *
The hypnotic ease of McCall Smith's style makes everything clear almost instantly * Daily Telegraph *
McCall Smith's familiar tone of wry amusement permeates the narrative, as does the detective's wisdom . . . hugely enjoyable * Sunday Times *
Mma Ramotswe is a glorious creation, a character likely to prove every bit as enduring as Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot * Mail on Sunday *
An ultra-smooth ride . . . almost more blissful than even McCall Smith's millions of regular devotees could pray for or hope * Scotsman *
Blake may have been able to see the world in a grain of sand, but McCall Smith can encapsulate the human condition in a plate of stewed pumpkin. His talent is to see the god in small things * Sunday Times Scotland *
Equally as brilliant as the previous editions. . . . McCall Smith writes with deceptive simplicity, yet his work is laced with worthy insight, and dry, yet charming, humour. * Scottish Field *
