Talk Back

[alyson]

Theme of the book: a lady in Botswana has started a detective agency on her own, and she is trying to juggle her clients, her employee, her fiancee, and her fiancee's business.

This is the third in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, and not the best. The first two have a plot that is a straight line, with the narrative ambling back and forth over it pretty randomly. The ambling story meets the plot neatly at the end of each book, and I was left feeling comfortably done.

In this third book, the plot is not so straight and seems to have small holes, and I felt like the book was ended slightly prematurely. None of these books really wrap it all up at their ends, which can be nice in a slice of life way, but with Morality I wondered what the point was.

I'll read one more in the series if it becomes available, but if it is similar to the third then I'll be done.
