Book 6 is much more a character driven plot than a mystery driven story. We are invited inside the lives of the characters and take a journey that is both fun and scary. Alexander McCall Smith even push one of his character into a corner, digged a hole and found a way for the character to bring himself or herself out of the trouble. I was a bit worried I admit when the got to that part but I shouldn't have. This is Mma Ramotswe, Mma Makusti, which I just love, especially in this, M. J.L.B Matekoni, this is Botswana, not New-York City, everything gets resolved in a slow but interesting manner. A new character is introduced and I'm looking forward to his story developing. This is very much comfort reading for me. Much love for the red shoes too.
