| Heidi J. Good : | What is the title of Michael Stanley`s latest book, and when can we expect it to be available in U.S. book stores? Please advise. Thank you. |
| Barbara Albin : | Haven`t started the second, loved the first reading and the Audio was wonderful. Please tell me you are working on the third. |
| Rebekah : | As others have commented, many thanks for the bobotie recipe in "Second Death of Goodluck Tinubu." Excellent! Please include more recipes in the future. |
| Anneli : | This is not a question but a request. I read both your books, the second one first, and found them well written, with fascinating characters and the exotic background. However, many, many times, nobody--even the many "editors" mentioned apparently--knows the difference between "who" and "whom". You would never say "I see He", would you? The same with "he and him" and THE SAME WITH WHO AND WHOM! Please, look this up and encourage your editors to do the same. I love your books but when I come across this glaring grammatical mistake, it jars me.
Wirting this only to improve the almost perfect books!

| Sniper of the Kalahari : | I think the hardest case was when a corpse was found in the desert, half eaten by wild animals, and deliberately mutilated to be unidentifiable. The case was choked by politics, and powerful people high up. And one of the country’s biggest companies was involved. And the stakes kept escalating with one vicious killing after the next. But that’s another story"
A real story like this happened some days ago...coinsidence? |
| AVMee : | Just came back from Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Wanted you to know that your books were a big part of the reason that I did the trip. Bought several cook books but the recipes for Bobotie are not as good as the one in your book. Please put it on your website so I do not have to read the chapter over and over again. I was very touched when one of the safari guides actually greeted me with a traditional hand shake to show respect. Hope to see more books soon. Many thanks for getting me to Africa! |
| D. Ikegami from Hawaii : | When will the next detective Kubu be available?. Your books are refreshing and detective Kubu is a gem! |
| Paul : | After only reading the first book Kubu feels like an old friend! What a great character. |
| sally fifer - momfifer@milwpc.com : | Love kubu! Will you put recipes on your sight? specifically bootie? |
| Merilyn : | Thoroughly enjoyed your books...looking forward to the next one. |
| Jean-Pierre from Luxembourg : | Thanks for the french version of " a carrion death ". Wonderful characters. I am looking forward for the french version of " a deadly trade ". Well done. |
| Sue : | Why don`t all Batswana treat their dogs like Kubu? What a fine example he is setting to his fellow countymen :-)) |
| Bill Nowlin : | What are the ingredients of a steelworks? I`ve long been a ginger beer aficionado - not always the easiest drink to find in the United Staets - but I`d never heard of a steelworks. |
| Patricia Bannerman : | Will you put Moreme and Kweh into the next book? A wonderful character!! Thanks for taking me to Botswana. P.B. |
| Jacqueline Stone : | Have been happily engrossed in The Second Death... Even better than A Carrion Death. I love the characters, particularly Kubu and his family, Tatwa and the irascible Mabaku. I spent two years in Africa as a child and the beautiful descriptions of the "bush" and the wild animals and birds brought back so many happy memories. How soon will you two gentlemen be putting out another book? |
| Martha : | I love these books. Just wanted you to know I made Bobotie for dinner tonight. |
| Lori : | I have been thoroughly engrossed in your book. I think I know what`s going to happen and who did it, and then the plot takes another turn, and I don`t. I have so much enjoyed Alexander McCall Smith`s characters and settings from The Number One Ladies Detective series that I was excited to find another book set in Botswana. I can`t wait to find out what Kubu is up to next. |
| Roger Peterson : | Comment: Picked your book from "new novels" in our San Antonio Library as just something to read. What a wonderful surprise. It is well written, flows well, has interesting points about foreign lands, etc.. I will surely want to read more when available. Congratualaltions! |
| Joanne : | This is a wonderful story and your characters have real depth and humanity. I was drawn to them as I am to Donna Leon`s Venetian detective. I picked it up because I enjoy mysteries and Alexander McCall-Smith`s lady detective series has sparked my interest in the lives of everyday people in Africa. Well done. Can`t wait for more. |
| Lois Goodall : | No question - just a comment. There is a skit on Saturday Nite Live where they say "MORE COWBELL - -- MORE COWBELL All I have to say is MORE KUBU --- MORE KUBU. Great read!!!! |
