About this listen

The Joy and Light Bus Company is the latest instalment in the beloved number one Ladies' Detective Agency series from best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith.

Mma Ramotswe knows she is very lucky indeed. She has a loving family, good friends and a thriving business doing what she enjoys most - helping people. But the latest mystery she is called upon to solve is distinctly trickier than it initially appears, and, of course, there's plenty to handle in her personal life between Charlie and his new bride and Mma Makutsi and her talking shoes.

In the end, Mma Ramotswe's patience and common sense will win out, and, without a doubt, all will be the better for it.

How can one go wrong with exquisite narration of an excellent story under the Botswana skies? The story reminded me of a nasty family member who partially bankrupted us with his foolish scheme and my words unheeded by my late father.

Grab a cup of Bush tea and get comfortable.

I adore AMS and love these books and all the characters but for some reason I found the story in this one a little slow and not much happened. Beautifully read though.
