This week I am reading “The Real Lady Detective Agency: A True Story”, the book my friend lent me. And again, it is an entertaining book witch a charming style and easy to read: biographical and comical, just like “Catch me if you can”, only, it's contemporary. Well, to tell the truth, the story is completely different, but, nevertheless, I would put that two books into one category. I am sure that if you like the first one, you will enjoy the second one too.

The story is real and I can say it's rather original. The author, Rebecca Jane is the founder of The Real Lady Detective Agency. Her case seems to confirm a known English proverb: “necessity is the mother of invention”. She started the Lady Detective Agency in 2009 at the age of 24, when her first husband cheated on her. She says there wasn't a person to help her and she asked her friends for help. They decided to follow her husband and that's how she found the idea of setting up her own business. 



In her book she talks about many cases, she describes the details of detective's work. In the book you can find many strange and sometimes even funny adventures: following unfaithful husbands, looking for lost objects of personal value, pursuits of criminals..

The author talks about her life with a humorous approach. She doesn't take her troubles to heart. On the contrary, she is able to turn them into an entertaining story.
