 Book five in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

Mma Potokwani ropes Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni into agreeing to do a parachute jump in order to raise money for the orphan farm. In one of my favorite quotes from the book, she says, "We are much cleverer than you men, but, unfortunately, you do not know that." Ha!

Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni is so preoccupied with trying to find a way to avoid keeping his promise that he can't spare a minute to think about getting married, much to Mma Ramotswe's chagrin.

Mma Ramotswe helps a woman who owns a chain of hair salons to investigate several prospective husbands. As always, things work out just fine in the end.

 If you like this serious, this installment is in exactly the same vein. Love them or hate them they're easy to read, pleasing and well constructed stories.

 There has not been a bad book in these series. Absolutely wonderful. The characters and the setting in Africa are so real, so believable, you want to come back here over and over again.

 I would have given it five stars, but I'm tired of the author re-hashing what's happened in the previous books before getting down to business.

 I like the series' characters but felt this book fell completely flat. Nothing actually happened... There weren't any mysteries and Mr. J.L.B. continues to be patronized by his fiancee.
