The Joy and Light Bus Company

BY ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH LITTLE, BROWN £18.99

★★★★★ This latest installment in the internationally beloved No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series is equally as brilliant as the previous editions. Mma Ramotswe is wary of her husband’s potential business venture and is called to investigate a large inheritance which, much to the child’s anguish, has been left to the nurse of the deceased father. McCall Smith writes with deceptive simplicity, yet his work is laced with worthy insight, and dry, yet charming, humour.
