- Alexander McCall Smith has written several distinct series, but every book features the richly drawn characters, engaging prose, and vivid settings that have earned him a loyal following. Characters' thoughts and perspectives are central to his novels, their whims guiding plot and pacing. The settings are described in detail, with frequent references to art and culture. Attention to word choice and a gentle, often warm tone typify his mysteries and literary fiction. Younger readers will enjoy the prequel to his No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Start with: The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Adults); The Great Cake Mystery (Older Kids)
