Now that she is finally and happily married to Mr JLB Matekoni, Mma Ramotswe of Botswana's famous No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency might have expected life to grow more sedate. But - much to the delight of her avid fans - the many problems that lead customers to her door seem, if anything, to have multiplied. These three latest Alexander McCall Smith novels ooze charm, wit and the warmth of the Botswana sun.

The set includes the following 3 titles :

1) The Miracle at Speedy Motors
It has never occurred to Precious Ramotswe that there might be disadvantages to being the best-known lady detective in Botswana. But when she receives a threatening anonymous letter, she is compelled to reconsider her unconquerable belief in a kind world and good neighbours.

While she ponders the identity of the letter-writer Mma Ramotswe has a further set of problems to solve, both professional and personal. There is an adopted child’s poignant search for her true family, and Mr J. L. B. Matekoni’s pursuit of an expensive miracle for their own foster daughter Motholeli.

With these latest developments on Tlokweng Road, Alexander McCall Smith reveals with all his brilliant storytelling skill that there are very few troubles that cannot be solved with kindness, and very few dry seasons that do not end with welcome rain.

2) The Good Husband of Zebra Drive
As winter turns to spring across the red earth, acacia trees and slow green rivers of Botswana, all is not quite as it should be on Zebra Drive, home to Mma Ramotswe and her beloved husband Mr J. L. B. Matekoni. At the No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency there are the usual number of cases to be pursued, from persistent theft at Teenie Magama’s printing works to the rather more serious case of three suspicious deaths at the Mochudi hospital, but there is discontent among the ranks. It is bad enough that Mr Matekoni’s apprentice Charlie is off on another escapade and Mma Makutsi’s impending marriage threatens her happy working relationship with Mma Ramotswe. And when - in trying to prove himself a worthy husband - Mr J. L. B. Matekoni himself decides to try a little detective work, disaster looms . . .

Tender, witty and wise, the latest instalment in the lives of Alexander McCall’s Smith’s extended Botswana family instructs us with familiar modesty in the importance of trust, love, not judging by appearances and what really makes a good husband.

3) Blue Shoes and Happiness
Precious Ramotswe, traditionally-built proprietor of Botswana’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, is now known to millions around the world as the heroine of Alexander McCall Smith’s best-selling series of books. In the latest instalment, Mma Ramotswe contemplates the two sorts of problems that we all face in life: the major ones (such as drought), about which very little can be done, and the other sort - which people make for themselves through human weakness and an inability to resist temptation. Like the inability to resist cake, for instance. That had led to several problems for Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, especially when the cake was made by Mma Potokwane, matron of the Orphan Farm. But it is Mma Ramotswe’s role in life to deal with the problems of others and provide some solution to their difficulties - a role she fulfils with her usual style in this latest bestseller.
