44 Scotland Street

Uh, but, uh, let's start with, uh, Alexander McCall Smith, Sandy, if I may, whose, uh, many published works include the more than 25 novels inc- uh, featuring, uh, Precious Ramotswe, and The Number One Ladies' Detective Agency set in Botswana.

44 Scotland Street, and two or three other series of books set in Edinburgh.

And the Detective Vaarg novels set in Sweden.

That's just some of them.

And, and you do that as well.

I, I do that as well.

Um, I write a serial novel, Scotland Street serial novel.

Mm.
