Just knowing there is a new tale involving the No.l Ladies Detective Agency of Botswana, Africa and Mma Ramotswe gives me a warm feeling in my soul. Tea Time for the Traditionally Built with its soft humor, human fraility, and unconditional love and loyalty will please readers of all preferences. The easy flow of plot and dialogue, and a mystery to be solved involving no bloodshed or diabolical intentions ,will leave you smiling when you finish.
Mma Ramotswe is approached by Mr. Molofololo, owner of a local professional soccer team. He wants to hire the Agency to figure out why his previously undefeated club is now on a losing streak. He suspects a team member is purposely causing the defeats. Mma Ramotswe, totally ignorant of anything sports related, has to be convinced to accept the case.
Along with fretting about the demise of her beloved white van, Mma Ramotswe's partner Mma Makutse suffers the indignity of having an integrity-lacking women set out to steal her fiance. These and other challenges are handled with some native wisdom and common sense.
The author also gently shows us how people of all cultures, class and lifestyles share the same problems, emotional reactions, and the ability to love and nurture.
Suitable for all ages, I found nothing to offend in this squeaky clean novel. One of my personal favorites of this season, on a scale of 1 to 10 I rate it a 9.
