Perfect leisure reading, Alexander McCall Smith's series about Precious Ramotswe's sleuthing in Botswana, entertains as it informs. The audio versions are the way to go here, because narrator Lisette Lecat brings words to life which are enigmatic on the printed page (Mma, Rra...). These audio books can be addictive, and there seem to be more of them each year. Here are the original four titles, probably best read in this order.
