A Sistah Sleuth On the Small Screen!

By Angela Henry

For those of you who haven't heard, Grammy award-winning singer Jill Scott will be starring as Precious Ramotswe in HBO's new series, The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, which is based on the best-selling books by Alexander McCall Smith. Even though I'm a fan of gritty murder mysteries and McCall Smith's books aren't really mysteries in the traditional sense, I'm still looking forward to this series! Check out the teaser below.






Enjoy!
