The double comfort safari club - Alexander McCall Smith (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #11)

It is all very well for Mr Clovis Anderson, renowned author of The Principles of Private Detection, to warn against working for those we love. But it is clear to Mma Ramotswe that Rra Anderson is not a regular visitor to Botswana, where friends and family, like cattle and acacia trees, are everywhere.

However, as the rains arrive, along with a new crop of cases for the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency, it would seem that Anderson's words may contain wisdom. For while searching for the beneficiary of a faraway American lady's legacy on a distant safari camp appears straightforward, old friend Mma Mateleke's suspicions that her husband has strayed certainly require a delicate touch. And when Mma Makutsi's husband-to-be Phuti Radiphuti is injured and an unpleasant senior aunt seeks to supplant his fiancée at the bedside, the ties of blood become more problematic still.

Kind, witty and wise, on this new journey Alexander McCall Smith and his indefatigable heroine again prove themselves most trustworthy of guides in an uncertain world.
