$5 tickets on sale now.
Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH to present The Miracle at Speedy Motors, his latest novel in the bestselling No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. Featuring Precious Ramotswe—Botswana’s leading, and only, female private detective— the No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency novels have become worldwide bestsellers. In the newest installment, The Miracle at Speedy Motors, Precious Ramotswe had never thought that there might be disadvantages to being the best-known lady detective in Botswana until she receives a threatening anonymous letter.
While she ponders the identity of the letter-writer, Mma Ramotswe has a further set of problems to solve, both professional and personal. There is an adopted child’s poignant search for her true family, and Mr J. L. B. Matekoni’s pursuit of an expensive miracle for their own foster daughter Motholeli. "Alexander McCall Smith's big-hearted Botswanan stories [allow] his readers to escape into a world of simple, picturesque pleasures and upstanding virtues." -The New York Times Book Review
