from wikipedia:
"the no. 1 ladies' detective agency is a series of nine novels (as of 2008) by
rhodesian-born author alexander mccall smith. the eponymous agency is located
in modern-day gaborone, capital of botswana. its founder is a fictional
botswana woman, mma precious ramotswe, who features as the stories'
protagonist and main detective.
the episodic novels are as much about the adventures and foibles of different
characters as they are about solving mysteries. they must be read in order of
writing as, although each book is complete in itself, each book follows on
from the previous book.
a tv series of 13 episodes is to be produced by the bbc to be shown on bbc one
in the uk and on hbo in the us. an hour and a half long pilot for the series
was broadcast on bbc one on 23 march 2008 (easter sunday) with filming of the
remaining episodes to commence during the summer."
not my cup of tea (i hate those bbc detective series), but the botswana angle
looks interesting.
