Morality for Beautiful Girls

The third title in the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Morality for Beautiful Girls, by Alexander McCall Smith, is yet another very enjoyable book. In spite of its simplicity and straightforwardness, it is both thought provoking and touching. Morality is an underlying theme in this series and I cannot but sympathize with some of the views expressed through the two main female characters (Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi). Extraordinary sensibility and insight behind McCall Smith's writting.

Synopsis

The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency" published in 1998, introduced the world to the one and only Precious Ramotswe, the engaging and sassy owner of Botswana's only detective agency. "Tears of the Giraffe" took us further into this world, and now, continuing the adventures of Mma Ramotswe, "Morality for Beautiful Girls", finds her expanding her business to take in the world of car repair and a beauty pageant.
