In the newest addition to the universally beloved No. 1
Ladies' Detective Agency series, the charming and ever-
resourceful Precious Ramotswe finds herself overly beset by
problems. She is already busier than usual at the detective
agency when added to her concerns are a strange intruder in
her house on Zebra Drive and the baffling appearance of a
pumpkin. And then there is Mma Makutsi, who decides to
treat herself to dance lessons, only to be partnered with a
man who seems to have two left feet. Nor are things running
quite as smoothly as they usually do at Tlokweng Road
Speedy Motors. Mma Ramotswe's husband, the estimable Mr.
J.L.B. Matekoni, is overburdened with work even before one
of his apprentices runs off with a wealthy woman. But what
finally rattles Mma Ramotswe's normally unshakable
composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a secret
from her past . . .
All this unfolds against the sunlit background of Mma
Ramotswe's beloved homeland, Botswana -- a land of empty
spaces, echoing skies, and an endless supply of soothing
bush tea.
