Tea Time for the Traditionally Built

Tea Time for the Traditionally Built, by Alexander McCall Smith. Anchor Publishing; 2009

Reviewed by Diane Allen

Precious Ramotswe, my favorite female detective in Botswana, continues to use her special people skills to close a case in Tea Time for the Traditionally Built, Alexander McCall Smith's 10th novel featuring this main character. Precious unravels problems involving deliberate sabotage in a talented local soccer team. I also enjoyed The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday, another novel by Alexander McCall Smith. This book features philosopher Isabel Dalhousie, who investigates a doctor accused of fraud. Elizabeth vonArnim's classic novel Enchanted April is a delightful story about four women who go to Italy for a special holiday. They start out as strangers, but become good friends. (This book was made into a movie, which is now available on DVD at our Library.)
