10) Tears of the Giraffe, by Alexander McCall Smith

More light reading for me, sequel to The No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Actually this is very light reading. The actual mystery is not very mysterious, and is resolved by our heroine by feminine intuition – “He is dead. He never left here. That man is evil.” Most of the book is extending the characterisation of her assistant and her gentleman friend. I’ll try one more of these but unless something actually happens I’ll leave it there.
