And life is never dull on Tlokweng Road. A new and rather too brusque advice columnist is appearing in the local paper. Then, a cobra is found in the offices of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Recently, the Mokolodi Game Preserve manager feels an infectious fear spreading among his workers, and a local doctor may be falsifying blood pressure readings. To further complicate matters, Grace Makutsi may have scared off her own fiancé. Mma Ramotswe, however, is always up to the challenge. And <i>Blue Shoes and Happiness</i> will not fail to entertain Alexander McCall Smith's oldest fans and newest converts with its great wit, charm, and great good will.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Enchanting." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> "Readers will find happiness and remember it too, long after closing <i>Blue Shoes.</i>"--<i>USA Today </i>"Smith's detours to such simple truths, combined with his . . . dry sense of humor make each of these 'detective' stories a delight. <i>Blue Shoes and Happiness</i> is at once a humble and ambitious title and emblematic of Smith's accomplishment with these sweet, unassuming tales."--<i>The Columbus Dispatch </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alexander McCall Smith has written more than fifty books, but he is best known as the author of the internationally acclaimed series, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, of which <i>Blue Shoes and Happiness</i> is the seventh volume.
