Review: As wonderful as each of the novels in the series - This is another if Smith's wonderful and touching series about the #1 Ladies Detective Agency and its owner, Precious Ramotswe. There is a sly humor here and I am always impressed with the patient and giving nature of Mma Ramotswe and her compatriots. If this is truly how Botswana feels, it is a place I would love to visit. The characters are not like any I have ever met but Precious gives everyone the benefit of her wisdom and charity. She is insightful and seems naive without seeming stupid and although each of these stories stands alone very well, it is wonderful to start at the beginning and meet each of the main characters in the first books and get to know them all better and better as the series progresses. These are quick reads, but I always try to make them last as long as I can because I love them so. You'll end up smiling at the end of each and every book and this is no exception.
Review: Lovely book - I really feel like I know these characters. This is the 16th book in the series and it is uplifting and loving and kind. The situations feel real, not overdrawn and are solved in a reasonable manner without violence or even undue recriminations. I look forward to the next one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpected disharmony in this installment in a beloved series
*by K***R on January 31, 2024*

I am deeply addicted to the novels of Alexander McCall Smith & am working my way through every single volume. I love his wit, insights, kindness, consistently superb ethics, humour, & so much more. I've just finished reading The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine, which I enjoyed very much, as always. I was perturbed, however, at the unexpected & fortunately temporary disharmony between Mma Ramotswe & her secretary-associate detective-co-director at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Mma Grace Makutsi. Some of Mma Makutsi's behaviour struck me as blatantly rude & even conniving: could this really be happening between these longtime friends & colleagues? Well, Mma Ramotswe herself had the same short-lived fear (but long enough to keep the reader in suspense!). I was hugely relieved when all the misunderstandings were happily resolved, & yet I could not help feeling that Mma Makutsi did come out of this volume a bit tainted. Smith's characters are always evolving, as we know, in all his delightful series, & for a moment I wondered whether in some future volume, Mma Ramotswe would actually sack Mma Makutsi. Probably not, but I will keep reading to find out! This thread of course was not the only one in Sunshine, & I must say I found the thread dealing with the poor little boy Samuel very fascinating & uplifting. In Mma Ramotswe, Smith has created a truly--if I may put it this way--saintly character, with infinite compassion & self-awareness & a heart of pure gold. In this very troubled world, A. McCall Smith's books are the perfect mental therapy & fount of inspiration.
