My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
I listened to this on audiobook and it did not go over well. Those of you who are familiar with the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency know that the main characters names is Mma Precious Ramotswe. It's the "Mma" that drove me crazy all through the book. Before when I read these books, I assumed that Mma was an abbreviation, sort of like Mrs., which translated into a word. Not so. It is actually pronounced M-m-a. The narrator sounded like she stuttered every single time she said Mma. It drove me crazy. Mmmmmmmmmmma Ramotswe....Not fun to listen too.
In my opinion, some books that are fun, light reads just do not translate well to audio books. This series is one of those. The narration gets very repetitious.
But **spoiler alert** I was very happy that they finally got married :)
