This book is old news to avid followers of Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series. However, I want to contribute where I can, so here's my review--even if it is many years late.
I found Tears of the Giraffe to be my least favorite in the series so far. This installment follows the format and characters of the previous books. However, I finished the book feeling ripped off. Mma Ramotswe only solved one case--and I'm not even sure I can say she solved it. The characters only encounter one "adventure" in the course of the book. The events that left me content in the previous books were simply lacking in this one. I hope the next book in the series will leave me feeling more satisfied.

My memory is terrible. I can't remember anything that happens in this book.
Charlie parachutes for charity, Mma Ramotswe investigates two men for a rich woman who wants to get married, . . .
This is sounding very familiar. I do remember that I read many of these books right in a row--and after a while, they all started sounding the same (even though I really like them).
