In January the WPL Mystery Book Group will discuss The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. This is my second time around reading this book, and I'm enjoying it now as much as I did the first time! The heroine, Mma Precious Ramostwe of Botswana, is like a breath of fresh air. Her open heart and quick wit will captivate the reader. This is a light-hearted tale that might not have as much of an element of mystery as some may enjoy, but certainly will bring a smile to the face.
I'm anxious to see what our book group members have to say about it on Wednesday, January 20th!
We'll be meeting in the Community Room at 6:30 p.m. Please let Jessi know if you would like to attend. (#781-447-7613 or jfinnie@ocln.org).

**Update--
Our group met on January 20th and we all agreed that this was a fun, light read. Mma Ramostwe is a charming character and one that most of us would love to drink a cup of red bush tea with! The only comment that I have is that due to the light nature of the book, the discussion was also a bit on the light side. I deliberately chose some "darker" titles as options for the next book group. We need a book we can really sink our teeth into!
