Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith

Tears of the Giraffe is the second book of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and the third that I've completed. In addition to the initial book, I've done The Kalahari Typing School for Men.

In short, I liked this one the best of the three. It seemed to have the best blend of detective cases (which is made to seem easier, I'm sure, than it is in real life) and relationships. I'm not sure if I'm getting used to the characters, or if it really was better.

Still, it's more "light" than "heavy" reading, but that doesn't make it bad. Also, if you're interested in the series, I recommend reading the first book first. Three stars out of five.
