I have already read the first two The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books. I like them because I can very easily read them in a couple of hours. I think that things are getting a bit dull at this point in the series, but I have read them all quite recently. I really dislike two things about the book. Firstly, one of the main characters states that all pretty women (she calls them 'girls') are vacuous, and it is put in such a way that assumes all readers will agree. Secondly, I don't like the portrayal of depression. As someone with loads of experience with chronic depression, I hate that so many authors seem to get their knowledge of the disorder from books rather than people who actually have it.
Would I reread it? No. I wouldn't get anything out of reading it again.
Would I recommend it? I would recommend the series for anyone looking for very quick, simple reading.
