Life is never without its problems. Will Precious Ramotswe’s delightfully cunning and profoundly moral methods save the day? Find out in this, the fourth volume in the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series featuring Botswana's first and only lady detective.
Now that The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency (the only detective agency for ladies and others in Botswana) is established, its founder, Precious Ramotswe, can look upon her life with pride: she’s reached her late thirties ("the finest age to be"), has a house, two children, a good fiancé -- Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni -- and many satisfied customers. But life is never without its problems. It turns out that her adopted son is responsible for the dead hoopoe bird in the garden; her assistant, Mma Makutsi, wants a husband and needs help with her idea to open the Kalahari Typing School for Men; yet Mma Ramotswe’s sexist rival has no trouble opening his Satisfaction Guaranteed Detective Agency across town. Will Precious Ramotswe’s delightfully cunning and profoundly moral methods save the day? Follow the continuing story of Botswana’s first lady detective in the irresistible The Kalahari Typing School for Men.

The Kalahari Typing School For Men - Alexander McCall Smith

Esse é o quarto volume da deliciosa série Agência Número 1 de Mulheres Detetives que levei muito tempo para concluir por ter feito a leitura em inglês pois a Cia das Letras só publicou até o terceiro volume.
Os casos aqui são bem simples, nada de grandes crimes como nos tradicionais romances policiais e acabam se misturando aos problemas cotidianos de Preciosa Ramotswe: a dificuldade de se educar uma criança, o entrelaçamento de uma caso de adultério com alguém conhecido, a criação da concorrente "Agência de Detetives Satisfação Garantida", um cliente atormentado pelo remorso de um ato cometido no passado distante que procura Mma Ramotswe a fim de que ela o ajude a reparar esse passado... Simples e tocante.
