The Full Cupboard of Life - Alexander McCall Smith (#1 Ladies Detective Agency - Book 5)

http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781400031818-3 - This is the fifth book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Series set in Botswana and featuring Detective Precious Ramotswe, her mechanic fiance, her typing school prodigy assistant, and my favorite knucklehead mechanics' apprentices. In this one, Ramotswe is approached by a wealthy lady who wants to know which of her various suitors isn't just in it for the money. But, the "mystery" takes backstage to Ramotswe's own dilemma about her never-ending engagement, and her finance's troubles dealing with a dishonest mechanic. This was a very quick read, and nothing particularly dramatic happened in this installment, but I love these characters and their observations about life. Not a must read, but a fun continuance of the series.
