Sorry to disagree with you Rachel, but personally I loved this book, and am in agreement with DianaS! I can understand you point of view if you know anything about Botswana - I guess then it could be patronising, but as I don't know a thing I found all the African details really gave me a flavour of the place, and helped me imagine it. I'm on the second book now, and have already bought the third (buy one get one 1/2 price in WH Smith if anyone's interested). I found the details about the characters are that bit different to most books I've read recently and the little detective stories are really clever.
Not read any of the others, but I've heard of a few of them, and I'm sure any of them would be interesting.
