Book Reviews of The Double Comfort Safari Club (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency)
Book Review: "Having the right approach to life was a great gift."
Summary: 5 Stars
In Alexander McCall Smith's "The Double Comfort Safari Club," the insightful Mma Precious Ramotswe of Botswana is hired to find out if a husband is having an affair, to locate the recipient of a generous legacy, and to keep a greedy and selfish woman from defrauding a naïve gentleman. Mma Ramotswe's long-suffering assistant, Grace Makutsi, comes into conflict with the controlling aunt of her fiancé, Phuti Radiphuti. Grace will need Mma Ramotswe's support and sensible advice to help her overcome the obstacles that threaten her future happiness.
There are many wonderful moments that will bring a smile to readers' faces. Mma Makutsi's shoes scold and praise her, depending on her behavior; the two lady detectives take a trip into the bush and bravely confront their fear of woman-eating hippos and crocodiles; and Mma Potokwane, who runs the orphan farm with formidable skill and determination, fearlessly tackles Phuti's insufferable aunt.
"The Double Comfort Safari Club" is the eleventh entry in a series that is consistently fresh and entertaining. McCall Smith has a genius for expressing profound thoughts simply and elegantly. He makes ordinary events seem extraordinary, and the experiences of his memorable characters impart valuable lessons about how to live happily and productively. Instead of fretting about things that cannot be changed, the author implies, we should concentrate on making this world a more hospitable place.
