The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon by Alexander McCall Smith

The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon is the newest in the gentle No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series set in Botswana. Precious's right-hand" man," Grace, is adjusting to motherhood. And Precious herself is learning to adjust to the absence of her assistant. Two clients ask Precious for help. One involves a will and determining whether or not the intended heir is who he's supposed to be. The other involves a friend of Precious's who has opened The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon only to find herself the victim of lies and rumors that will ruin her business if they continue. While nothing monumental happens in these books, they are delightful to read and make you appreciate the little things in life, like good friends, a kind husband and a long-awaited rain shower.
