Jim's Review
🐛
This book is a warm hug in mystery form, and Jim did not know he needed that. Mma Ramotswe is wise, funny, and endlessly charming — Jim would trust her with any case, including finding his missing book. It's gentle and humane in a genre that often runs dark, and the Botswana setting is beautifully rendered. Four worms — proof that mysteries don't need body counts to be great.
