The latest instalment from the beloved THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE
AGENCY series Catch up on the latest from Mma Ramotswe, Mma Makutsi
and other favourites in this new instalment of Alexander McCall
Smith's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. As the
temperature rises in Gaborone, Precious Ramotswe, founder of the
No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, wonders whether the heat could be
the reason that business is particularly slow. Luckily, a slower
pace in life is her natural preference, unlike her colleague Mma
Makutsi, who is alert to every passing observation and inclined to
making snap decisions. With fewer cases to handle, Precious has
time to contemplate her new neighbours, a couple who, by the sounds
of it, have a rather volatile relationship . . . But then a distant
cousin of Mma Ramotswe's comes to the agency with a plea for help,
and the ladies decide to pursue the issue together. Armed with Mma
Ramotswe's circumspection and Mma Makutsi's sharp eye, they proceed
with confidence and open hearts. What, after all, could be more
straightforward than a family matter? Meanwhile, their colleague
Charlie is behaving oddly, borrowing Mma Ramotswe's van and
returning it in an unusual condition. Digging a little deeper, the
explanation is both strange and extraordinary, and takes Charlie,
along with Mma Ramotswe's husband, Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, on a
hair-raising night-time expedition. In the end, Precious is
reminded of the need to view a picture from every angle, to accept
the imperfections in people and situations, and then find a
solution - preferably over a delicious slice of her friend Mma
Potokwani's fruit cake. 'Irresistible' The Times 'Every page
contains a gem of wit and insight' Scotsman
