The Kalahari Typing School for Men

The Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith is the fourth instalment in the globally beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series — the warmly humorous and gently philosophical portrait of life in Botswana that has made the series one of the most successful in contemporary publishing. Published by Abacus, this book continues the gentle adventures of Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's first and finest female private detective, in a story that is as warm and quietly funny as its predecessors.

In this fourth book, Mma Ramotswe is facing professional competition for the first time — a rival detective agency staffed entirely by men has opened in Gaborone and is competing directly for business. Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi has established the Kalahari Typing School for Men in the evenings — a venture that brings its own completely unexpected complications and some very illuminating revelations about the relationship between the sexes.

Note: Title listed in source as 'The Kala Hari typing school for men' — corrected to The Kalahari Typing School for Men. As always, the investigations Mma Ramotswe undertakes illuminate not just specific cases but the broader landscape of human nature and Botswanan society. McCall Smith at his most charming, most quietly insightful, and most genuinely funny.
