Just as HBO's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency kicks off, the incomparable Precious Ramotswe returns in Alexander McCall Smith's Tea Time for the Traditionally Built. Botswana's leading female detective relies on her typical sass and self-assurance to help a losing local football team in a delightful novel whose descriptions of the African countryside are as invigorating as a brisk cup of red bush tea.
