THE GREAT CAKE MYSTERY Precious Ramotswe's Very First Case

The heroine of Alexander McCall Smith’s popular series becomes accessible to the younger set with this charming story. Precious Ramotswe dreamed of becoming a detective when she was a child, and her sharp observation and reasoning skills are obvious in this story of the future sleuth’s first case. Adjoa Andoh brings Precious, and the land of Botswana, to life with her entertaining narration. The African names roll off her tongue, and she supplies mini-lessons that teach the listener to say them like a native. The story is enhanced by Andoh’s authentic voice and obvious enjoyment. We can only hope more tales of the young Precious will be forthcoming. N.E.M. 2013 Audies Winner © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2012]
