Review of "The Good Husband of Zebra Drive (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency) by Alexander McCall Smith (2007-02-26)" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The beginning in this book was really slow and boring, and it almost fell prey to my new resolve to dnf a book if I don’t enjoy it. For real this time. Haha 🙈

I picked it up after I finished my last book, since it was still on my bedside table and I didn’t know what to read next. Turns out it wasn’t so bad after all, once I got through the introductory chapters.

It’s an unusual cozy mystery, since there are many small investigations instead of the usual one big one spanning the whole narrative. It’s a nice Sunday afternoon read, and even has some quotable bits, but I’m not yet sure I’ll pick up the other instalments of the series.
