Recently I undertook the reckless act of making a trip to a different library branch to the one I normally frequent – and there, quietly perusing the crime shelves, I had quite a serious shock, I can tell you. Time was when the publication of the latest in Alexander McCall Smith’s gentle series about Botswana’s only lady detective used to send me fleeing into Waterstones in quest of its brightly-coloured jacket. Now, I was a bit chastened to discover, no less than four had been published that I had neglected to read.
