The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency

While we were in Detroit last weekend to attend my cousin's wedding, we happened to watch The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency on HBO.

We could watch two episodes before we left for the reception in the evening. The stories were very interesting and I have always loved intelligent detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot and our very own Byomkesh Bakshi.

In this show on HBO, the lead character Precious Ramotswe sells her father's livestock after his death and moves to the city to start a detective agency. The show is special as it is set up in beautiful Botswana. The backdrop of Africa and it's culture is a delicious side to the suspensful and entertaining main course.

Recently NPR aired an interview
