The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party
- The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 12
- Narrated by: Lisette Lecat
This 12th entry from Alexander McCall Smith’s New York Times bestselling series introduces the humanity and unparalleled intelligence that defined Precious Ramotswe. While both Precious and Grace Makutsi are baffled by prophetic dreams, life goes on at the 1st Ladies Detective Agency. Precious finds herself investigating a rural jealousy case, in when Grace was getting closer to her wedding.
This is like the last novel of the series. If so, it’s over as well as it started. If you’re a fan and haven’t seen the BBC series based on some of the first episodes, you should look it up. It was filmed in Botswana and has a very good script.
Lisette Lecat told this story beautifully. She gets all the names and accents right because she’s from South Africa. Alexander McCall Smith creates stories that make you feel like they’re old friends and you’re just stopping by. I hope there is a 13 book in this series. She got her little white van back in this story.
Alexander McCall Smith is my favorite author, and this most recent book in the #1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series didn’t disappoint. Full of beauty, joy, humor and love. And, of course, Lisette Lecat is the perfect storyteller. She really brought the whole book to life. I cannot rate this series (nor all McCall Smith’s books).
Listening to these books is like visiting old friends. I love these characters and their lives. I can’t wait to see each new book to see what the girls are up to.
