Morality for Beautiful Girls

Morality for Beautiful Girls is written by Alexander McCall Smith. The book is a detective story and it has been published in 2004. It’s third volume of The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series and it’s protagonist is Mma Ramotswe who lives in Botswana.

The book tells about a woman called Mma Ramotswe who is the founder and owner of The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in Africa. Ramotswe is a patient and clever woman who works with her cousin called Mma Makutsi. Relationship between Ramotswe and Makutsi are very close and they face puzzling cases together. Ramotswe deside to share detective agency with Mr J.L.B. Maketoni who owner the Road Speedy Motors garage and he is Ramotswe’s upcoming husband. Later in the book Mr J.L.B. Maketoni suffer from depression and Ramotswe faces comlicated case where in the forest found a strange young boy who smelling of lion.

The book’s narrator is third person omniscient who tells protagonist and also the other characters thinks and feels. Narrator describes even characters facial expressions and I think that it cheer up the story of the book. In my opinion narrator describes characters well and makes them more interesting.

My favourite part of the book is the end of story because there everything turned out for the best and puzzling cases get resolved.

In my opinion it was nice to read the book in English and it was a new experience for me. Even though I thought that the book was at first a little bit confused because it was full of new names and characters. But later when I came along the book’s plot I thought that it was all in all exciting and successful story of Mma Ramotswe who faced supreme problems at home and work in Africa. I would recommend this book to everyone who like exciting adventure stories.
