HOUSE OF UNEXPECTED SISTERS 8D: 18 (The New No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency)

Praise for Precious and Grace (#17) and the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series:

"In anxious times, we turn to comfort foods. But what about comfort books? Alexander McCall Smith serves up a perfect example in Precious and Grace. Heartwarming." --The New York Times Book Review

"[Precious and Grace] is that rare find in a long-running series: a book that can appeal both to newcomers and to longtime fans. As always, a marvelous mix of humor, startling incidents, contemporary African setting, and memorable characters." --Booklist (starred review)

"Utterly charming and deliciously entertaining, [with] characters who are as adept as they are appealing--people who become as familiar as neighbors and as welcome as the best of friends--and who, though steady in their beliefs and devotions, will still constantly surprise and amaze." --Chicago Tribune

"Entrancing. A tapestry of extraordinary nuance and richness." --The Wall Street Journal

Precious Ramotswe and Grace Makutsi investigate a new mystery in this latest installment of the irresistibly charming, perennially best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
