Editorial Reviews

Based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith, The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott), the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of Botswana's first and only female-owned detective agency. Aided by her highly efficient yet rather peculiar secretary Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), Mma Ramotswe investigates a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives, and begins a special friendship with a respectable garage owner (Lucian Msamati) along the way.

November 21, 2009: I loved all of the books and now I love this version too. The characters have come to life with lessons that are just as meaningful and wisdom that is just as full as they were in the book. Filmed in Botswana with a view of the culture that is warm and inviting. I am hoping that HBO continues this program and we can benefit from future visions of the characters and their lives in Botswana.
