 The sixth installment of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series finds Mma Ramotswe puzzled by a pair of trousers, a pumpkin, and the problem of Mr. Polopetsi.

As usual, there is not much plot, but the characters carry the story along. I find the Precious Ramotswe books always exactly the right thing when I want to read something light and entertaining, but not totally frivolous. It's more philosophy than mystery, but nonetheless fun to read.

 Sixth book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

Mma Ramotswe is dismayed to see the erosion of the traditional values of Botswana as modern life becomes more and more about material possessions. She does her best to set a good example, but falls short from time to time. Now married to Mr. J.L.B. Matekone, Mma Ramotswe continues to run the detective agency while many issues in her personal life cause her worry. A strange man breaks into her house, someone leaves her a pumpkin, her van is stolen, and her mean ex-husband returns to Gabarone, bent on blackmail. Soon after Charlie the apprentice storms out of the garage, Mma Ramotswe literally runs right into a solution to the sudden labor shortage. While following Charlie, she almost hits a man with her tiny white van. Enter the marvelous Mr. Polopetsi.

While Mma Ramotswe struggles with her personal life, Mma Makutsi starts to live it up a little (and solves a big case along the way). Mma Makutsi indulges her love of shoes and takes a dance class where she just might find someone to love.

 This is one of the superb books about the lives of Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency; her assistant, Grace Makutsi; and her husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, proprietor of Tlokweng Speedy Motors. These are profoundly simple stories (that will make sense after you read one) and, after you read one, you will feel better than you did before. Highly recommended.
