Have either of you read the other series by the "No 1 Ladies Detective Agency" guy? A. M. Smith? The series that begins with "Portugese Irregular Verbs"?
I've only just started the first book, but it's utterly charming! Again, there's just no other way to put it. It's charming. That Smith fellow is quite the charmer, and so funny. This one is much funnier than the N1LDA. At least, if you're me -- which you aren't -- it's much funnier, but I'm sure if you're you, you'll still find it funny.
And, after all, don't we all need funny books in our lives?
(Well, all 'cept maybe GG, who needs some serious stuff before she gets her dessert, right? But this is good dessert when you've finished your brussel sprouts!)
