I enjoyed this Mystery. This is the first book I have read from this author. It takes place in the Outer Banks and surrounding regions and the library is in a lighthouse. A body is discovered on the steps of the library and has a direct relation with the newly employed Assistant Director who is the Main character in the story. This relation has been estranged from our main character Nichelle for 38 years since she was 16. I like the fast paced, to the point writing and I also wanted to know the answers which encouraged me to keep reading.

Morality for Beautiful Girls
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.
In the Time of Five Pumpkins

This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.
The Old Man and the Sea

While it is possible that I read this book when I was in school, I don’t remember any of it, and I certainly would not have appreciated it the way I do now. I did this as an audio book and the reader did such an amazing job of not only bringing the old man to life but of using his voice to make you feel like you were right there. I highly recommend this book, specifically as an audio book. It will be more than just a read; it will be an experience.
Happy Place

book cover


I have come to really enjoy Henry’s books when I need a lighter read that still has some real substance. This was truly a good book about two people who love each other but can’t get out of their own way to be together. My only problem was that, as a non-linear novel, both the current events and past events both contained dialogue, which, since I did it as an audio book, I felt made it harder to keep track of the time frame than if only the current time has the dialogue.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.
