I ran out and got this book because I had thoroughly enjoyed the Ladies Detective Agency series by A McCall Smith.I find that the main character is not likeable. In Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency Mma Ramotswe is a likeable character despite her imposition of morals onto others. There is a certain charm that generates reader interest. I don't find that to be the case in this book at all.I am not even finished the book yet but I don't know if I will be able to get through it.
