How to Raise an Elephant
Author: Alexander McCall Smith
Publisher: Abacus
ISBN: 9780349144108
Alexander McCall Smith’s No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series can be relied on for tender and kind surprises, and also the reliability of love and trust among the main characters. Of course they have their flaws - Precious Ramotswe, who leads the unusual detective agency in Botswana, is a woman with traditional values and pays careful attention to the guidance found in her detection manual written by Clovis Andersen. She can thus be a little myopic, and a bit hard-wearing on her small but practical van.

The Russian
Authors: James Patterson & James O.Born
Publisher: Penguin Books
ISBN: 9781787461871
The title for James Patterson and James O. Born’s new thriller, The Russian, is a misnomer. No where in the story is there any mention of a Russian or Russian connection until the very end when the suspect is apprehended. And that also is so lame as a plot twist. So the reader is left wondering who or where is the Russian throughout the book.
