Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith

Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith | Goodreads

Botswana PI Precious Ramotswe investigates the alleged poisoning of the brother of an important government official, and the moral character of four beauty contestants. When her business has money trouble, and problems arise at at her reliable fiance Mr J.L.B. Matekoni’s Speedy Motors, she finds he is more complicated then he seems.

Always a delight to read. Even though the second main character’s name is cumbersome (Mr J. L. B. Matekoni) the story is gripping in a quiet way, and you cannot put it down.

Although it was published in 2001, you feel as if there cannot be a place in the world where all children are welcome in an orphanage and the organiser of a beauty pageant is concerned about the morality of the entrants. The cases Mma Ramotswe deals with are secondary to her husband-to-be’s illness and life in general in Botswana.

Really a feel-good story.

Review of 113 minutes bookshot by Hantie Hartzenberg

I got a hold on this little book by Max Dilallo and James Patterson.

It was a good little read. I loved the chapter headings. Six minutes, forty-three seconds. It’s a break from the usual chapter numbers. I loved the characters. Very daring in their dangerous plan. It was neatly laid out in the end. A very well read and a quick one too. Just for those days you want to read, but don’t have enough time.

But read the blurp and then go and get the book. It’s worth it.
