The Good Husband of Zebra Drive - Alexander McCall Smith
Rating: 
As winter turns to spring across the red earth, acacia trees and slow green rivers of Botswana, all is not quite as it should be on Zebra Drive, home to Mma Ramotswe and her beloved husband Mr J. L. B. Matekoni.
All is not well at the No1 Ladies’ Detective Agency! There are the usual mix of cases to be solved, from catching a thief at Teenie Magama’s printing works, to a series of suspicious deaths at the Mochudi hospital. Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, wanting to proove himself a ‘good husband’ tries his hand at being a detective… and Mma Makuti feeling the pressure of her impending marriage decides to move on, and leave the agency.
Things aren’t going any smoother at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where Mr Matekoni’s apprentice - and ladies man - Charlie, leaves to start his own business as a taxi driver specialising as a safe and secure option for women wanting transport, with his well know roving eye, disaster is surely only around the corner for all concerned.
As ever with the No1 Ladies Detective Agency series, it’s not really the plot or whodunits, we care about. They are simply there to give the characters something to do (and talk about over numerous cups of Bush tea!) The enjoyment of these perfect lazy Sunday afternoon books, comes from people watching, immersing yourself in their lives, and watching them all interact with each other none-the-least-of-which, is Botswana itself.
I don’t think this is the best in the series, but that is hardly a criticism in books of this quality, grab yourself a cup of tea (red bush of course!) a bit of peace and quiet and lose yourself in the pages for an hour or so, you surely won’t regret it!
