The latest installment of this universally beloved and best-
selling series finds Precious Ramotswe in personal need of
her own formidable detection talents . . . .
Mma Ramotswe’s ever-ready tiny white van has recently
developed a rather disturbing noise. Of course, Mr. J.L.B.
Matekoni–her estimable husband and one of Botswana’s most
talented mechanics––is the man to turn to for help. But
Precious suspects he might simply condemn the van and
replace it with something more modern. Can she find a way
to save her old friend?
In the meantime, Mma Makutsi discovers that her old rival
Violet Sephotho, who could not have gotten more than fifty
percent on her typing final at the Botswana Secretarial
College, has set her sights on none other than Mma
Makutsi’s fiancé, Phuti Radiphuti. Can Mma Ramotswe’s
intuition save the day? Finally, the proprietor of a local
football team has enlisted the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective
Agency to help explain its dreadful losing streak. The
owner of the team is convinced he as a traitor in his
midst. But how is Mma Ramotswe, who has never seen a
football match in her life, going to discern who is
throwing the game? Help, it turns out, may come from an
unexpected quarter.
There are few mysteries that can’t be solved and fewer
problems that can’t be fixed when the irrepressible
Precious Ramotswe puts her mind to them. A good cup of red
bush tea might be the best solution of all.
