The Maid and Tears of the Giraffe Alexander McCall Smith 2007 New CD Top-quality

At last! The radio dramatisations acclaimed as “highly evocative” (“The Times”) and “simple and enchanting” (“The Observer”) are now available on Audio CD. Alexander McCall Smith himself adapted this immensely popular bestselling series of stories for radio. Vibrant music vividly evokes the sights and sounds of the exotic Botswanian setting, superbly complimented by a cast of great characters. Wayward daughters, missing husbands, philandering partners, curious conmen – If you’ve got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s only – and finest – female private detective, and her assistant, Mma Makutsi.

Matekoni, the charming proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. And Precious is going to need them all as she sets out on a series of cases that tumbles our heroine into a hotbed of strange situations and more than a little danger…
