This month Griffonneur Press bookclub is reading more from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency – THE HOUSE OF UNEXPECTED SISTERS, by Alexander McCall Smith. I picked it up from Valley Bookseller in Stillwater on a book run there in June 2018. It’s been in my “To Read” book pile since then, so I’m happy it was the August club choice.
Mr. Smith is an incredibly prolific author who knows the value of spinning a series of stories. The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series is set in Botswana, Africa and the characters are strong, intelligent women, supported by caring men in the background. It’s an interesting choice for a male author, but we feel he does it with great success.
This book is #18 in the series and while all of us have read one or more books in this series, none of us have read all the previous 17.
