THE NO.1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY



This book which is called "THE NO.1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGEENCY" one

of Alexandra's novel. Is an interesting book because the writer become with

new idea, which is the private detective woman by a nice dramatic

story. Her name is Mma Ramotswe and she is an African women, she spent

most of her life alone. At the first few chapters the writer introduced her

father's situation with a short brief about him and her childhood, as she was

an intelligent, and every one loved her. On the same hand, she was also loved

Africa, Mma Ramotswe was the only private detective in Botswana, where she

was born. However, a little deep in her life she was helped her father with his

cattle. He was an old man, so she didn't require a long with him, but the

important thing she took her decision to be a detective, when he was on his

death bed.

Moreover, she was like her father Obed Rsmotswe, traveled from

city to city in her county for example, she attended to the Sunday school until

she was eleven. She went to her father's cousin when she was sixteen years

old, a new place , because he wanted for her to be there, and she was given a job

in the office of the bus company. In addition, here was the one her initial

issues , when she found about the employer who was cheated to her cousin,

and stole some money from the bus company. At that time she traveled

up to Mochudi, every weekend by one of the cousin's husband's buses, and

visited her father.

Once on a bus on the way from Mochudi, she had met

Note Mokoti, who was a musician and he became her boyfriend. With passing

of days, she married this man. But, it wasn't a good relationship, so later they got

divorced, however. In the mid of the book, the writer started tell us about how

she faced the problems and how she solved with her clients. Mma Ramotswe,

always tried to find the truth for example, she began with an issue

about missing husbands. Also, there were many solutions she was who figured

out about it and that's why this novel has only one main character.


In my opinion, it's a nice book if we except it as a novel I'm talking here

about some unimportant details. But, at the end maybe there was a boring

information the writer included. I think he couldn't take out, because this is

novel way. In addition, the writer figured out a way to makes the book

attractive for the reader. However, it’s an example about very simple and enjoyable for those kinds
of books, even for a relaxing time.
