About this listen

 Following on from the brilliant The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Tears of the Giraffe charts the further adventures of Mma Ramotswe, Botswana's only female private detective. It's going to take all her intuition and eminent sensibility for Mma Ramotswe to crack her hardest case yet: the decade-old disappearance of an American on the edge of the Kalahari.©2000 Alexander McCall Smith (P)2003 Time Warner AudioBooks Literature & Fiction Mystery Women Sleuths Women's Fiction

Critic reviews

"So elegant and understated is the author's style that the novel seems to transcend age." (Trevor Royle)
"I was enchanted by the character of Precious Ramotswe and the sly humour of Alexander McCall Smith's writing, his deft evocation of a culture." (Anthony Minghella)

Sensible and captivating

The plot is very sensitive and catches the listener’s attention from the beginning through the end. We get involved with the characters and the more we learn about them, the more we want to listen.

Beautiful storytelling of simple lives in Botswana

A beautiful continuation of the first book. It’s so gentle and beautiful. I imagined that I lived in the same area as the characters. Looking forward to the next one!
