Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency was published 25 years ago and has become one of the most beloved cozy mystery series ever. Mma Precious Ramotswe is the plucky protagonist and the founder of the eponymous detective agency, whose cases are often overshadowed by the colourful characters who enlist Mma Ramotswe’s investigative services. Colour and charm abound in the BBC’s full-cast radio production of the series, which is now available as an audiobook spanning 35 episodes. All were adapted by Alexander McCall Smith from stories featured in the books, and the soundtrack includes music from sub-Sahara African musicians.

In Deepti Kapoor’s novel Age of Vice, the Wadias are a famous family whose wealth and power unlock every door and make all things possible. Which is the only way to explain how one of their Mercedes crashes into a crowd in the early hours of the morning leaving five dead and yet no member of the Wadia family is found at the scene—just a servant who seems not to know what’s happened. Over its 500+ pages, the novel shifts perspectives in time and character painting a portrait of a family who respects no boundary and the people surrounding them who are trying to carve off a slice of Wadia power, understand the family’s inner workings, or just survive.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, aka. ADHD, has been getting an increasing amount of attention over the past few years, possibly due to our shared experience of isolation and its impact on our attention spans. While many seek professional diagnoses in order to begin a course of treatment, others are merely curious whether their cognitive quirks are symptomatic of this often misunderstood condition—and they’re open to help with managing their minds. Self Care for People with ADHD by Dr. Sasha Hamdani aims to help readers reduce stress levels and look after themselves in ways that mitigate the downsides of ADHD. At the same time, Dr. Hamdani helps readers find ways to leverage the strength of their non-standard neurochemistry to live a healthier life with more self-acceptance. Sounds like a great way to kick off 2023.
