Customer Reviews

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4, these two stand-alone dramatisations of Alexander McCall Smith’s internationally bestselling literary series ‘The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency’ are now available for you to enjoy in CD audiobook or downloadable MP3 format.

Starring Claire Benedict as Mma Ramostwe, the fiery proprietor of the only female detective agency in Botswana, as well as Nadine Marshall as Mma Makutsi, these enriching adaptations are complete with vibrant music and the exceptional quality one would expect from the BBC.

The first story, ‘A Very Rude Woman’, audaciously brings change into the lives of the women at the detective agency. Meanwhile, Mr J. L. B. Matekoni feels just as intimidated as the ladies when he comes face to face with the rudest person in Botswana.

To follow, ‘The Talking Shoes’ follows the ladies as they take on a perplexing detective case. Perhaps the stress has finally started to get to them, as high blood pressure becomes another factor to worry about for Mma Ramostwe.

These charming audiobook dramatisations combine all that is loved about Alexander McCall Smith’s phenomenally popular series, and are sure to be enjoyed by all fans of the ladies detective agency, as well as newcomers to the series.
