Life is never dull for Botswana's premier lady detective, Precious Ramotswe. As a particularly delicate situation is brought to her attention, she must, with the help of her loyal associate Grace Matsuki, set out to investigate the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case. Over the course of their inquiries, unexpected information continues coming to light, leaving the pair puzzled. Eventually, Mma Ramotswe will realise that the truth, as ever, is more complicated than it first seems.

With the generosity and good humour that guide all her endeavours, Mma Ramotswe will untangle these questions for herself and her loved ones, and prove that with a healthy dose of wisdom and a steaming cup of redbush tea, compassion will always win the day.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Wonderful characters and atmosphere with a plot that keeps surprising make this another Alexander McCall Smith treasure.' (Booklist, starred review)

'As usual in this celebrated franchise, the pace is leisurely, the felonies are minimal, the tone is reflective and the results are enchanting.' (Kirkus Reviews)

It gets simpler and more boring

I was such a huge fan of the first books of the 1st Ladied Detective agency - I read paper books, I watched it on DVD and then kept buying audiobooks. But evidently, my fascination came to the end. There is no development any longer in the latest books, and endless aimless repetitive talks or thoughts replaced joy, wit and freshness.
