Indeed, Mma Ramotswe's own impending marriage to the most gentlemanly of men, Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, the promotion of Mma's secretary to the dizzy heights of Assistant Detective, and the arrival of new members to the Matekoni family, all brew up the most humorous and charmingly entertaining of tales. * TEARS OF THE GIRAFFE was selected as one of the GUARDIAN's top ten 'Fiction Paperbacks of the Year, 2000

Reviews
OK, I'm hooked on this audio book. The narrator really makes the story fun to listen to. I love her different accents. As for the characters-- again, they have such integrity and she is such a clever detective. I found myself laughing, smiling, and feeling a 'bonding' with all the characters. Highly recommended for readers who are tired of reading blood, gore and explicit sex.
