The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency - Book # 3

I just got finished reading The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. This is a book that I got for a Christmas present two years ago and I decided to tackle it. I did not know if I was going to like it or not. I have always had a 30 page rules. This means that if I don't like the book by 30 pages then I probably am not going to like it. I got to the 30th page and I decided that I didn't like it. For some reason I decided to read some more and decided that I did like it and was going to finish it. Well on to my review.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

This book starts out giving information on the main character's life story. She has not had an easy life at all. It is hard to see that until you understand where she has come from and when you see that you understand. Once her father has passed away, she decides to open up her own detective agency. It is not easy seeing that she is doing this in Africa where the women are seen as ones that normally do not own their own businesses. Once she gets her business up and running she finds that it is not as easy as she had thought it was going to be. She does get one case that haunts her and causes her to lose some sleep over until she solves it.

Overall this was a wonderful book. Much different type than I would normally read, but I loved it. Plus I get to say that this is the 3rd book that I have finished this year so far. Not too bad with only 11 days in the year so far. Well my next book is actually a children's book and I will let you in on the title tomorrow. Good night all.
