Philly's Jill Scott on HBO No. 1 Ladies Det. Agency


The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a series of ten novels by British author Alexander McCall Smith. The eponymous agency is located in Gaborone, capital of Botswana. Its founder is a Batswana woman, Mma Precious Ramotswe, who features as the stories' protagonist and main detective. The episodic novels are as much about the adventures and foibles of different characters as they are about solving mysteries. Each book in the series follows on from the previous book. They have been adapted for radio, television, and film.


The novel has been adapted for a HBO series staring Philly's own Jill Scott. The show starts with a special 2 hour series premiere March 29th at 8pm HBO.
