A Song of Comfortable Chairs - Alexander McCall Smith

 A Song of Comfortable Chairs - Alexander McCall Smith

She read

This is the twenty third in the simple but charming No. 1 Ladies Detective series.  All the familiar characters are here.  Instead of being hired by a client to investigate a case, Mma Ramotswe and Grace Makutsi set out to solve two problems close to home.  Grace’s old friend’s son is sabotaging her relationship with a good man.  Grace’s husband is worried about losing his furniture business because there is a new player in town undercutting his prices.  


The two ladies put their heads together and come up with clever and successful solutions to both issues.  All the familiar characters are here lending audience and support to the good hearted ladies.  And, yes, the talking shoes do make a cameo appearance!


A fast read, this is another feel good addition to the series.  Nothing too sinister or evil.

Just a nice afternoon or evening read while curled up with a pot of tea.  Fans of McCall Smith’s gentle prose and perceptive musings will welcome this latest endeavor.
