THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT BEAUTY SALON The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 14

Lisette Lecat reprises her well-loved role as Botswana's number one narrator as listeners are welcomed back to Gabarone and the investigations of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Setting the tempo with a distinctive accent, Lecat invites listeners to sit, perhaps with some tea, and enjoy Mma Ramotswe as she observes human nature. Two mysteries need solving—an impersonator stands to inherit a considerable farm, and a saboteur threatens to destroy a salon—and Mma Ramotswe is on her own. Mma Makutsi is on maternity leave, and Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni is distracted by classes for “modern husbands.” Whether its Mma Ramotswe's regular moments of self-reflection or the dialogue of so many memorable characters, Lecat excels at capturing inflection and emotion. Another charming, and addictive, performance. A.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2014]
