The Miracle at Speedy Motors is the ninth installment in the
No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books by Alexander McCall Smith. I listened to this book from the fine narration of Lisette Lecat. I always look forward to hearing her voice and unpacking the author's delightful developments for the characters. In this episode, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni mortgages his Speedy Motors auto repair business in the hopes of a miracle cure for his crippled foster daughter, Motheleli. Anonymous letters threaten the proprietors of the detective agency. Mma Makutsi proves only human when a mistake ruins a gift from Phuti Radiphuti. Similarly, a false step from Mma Ramotswe threatens to foil her attempts to find a family for an orphaned woman. To be human is to make mistakes. Thankfully, some mistakes find redemption in the end.
