THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY: BBC RADIO CASEBOOK, VOL. 2

Narrator Claire Benedict delights as Mma Precious Ramotswe in this second dramatized collection of NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY stories, adapted by their author Alexander McCall Smith. Precious's gentle yet strong spirit flows effortlessly from Benedict, creating a solid foundation on which Nadine Marshall, as Precious's abrasive but devoted assistant, Mma Grace Makutsi, and the rest of the full cast build. Jude Akuwudike puts in a particularly winsome first appearance as Phuti Radiphuti, Grace's stuttering suitor. From the festive opening music to Mma Ramotswe's last wise and generous solution, this full- cast production will charm listeners whether they already know and love these stories or are hearing them for the first time.
