A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe’s office. Then
a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals that faulty
blood–pressure readings are being recorded there. And
Botswana has a new advice columnist, Aunty Emang, whose
advice is rather curt for Mma Ramotswe’s taste.
All this means a lot of work for our heroine and her
inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of
course, up to the challenge. But there’s trouble brewing
in Mma Makutsi’s own life. When Phuti Radiphuti misses
their customary dinner date, she begins to wonder if he is
having second thoughts about their engagement. And while
Mma Makutsi may be able to buy that fashionably narrow
(and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it may not buy her
the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she’ll find
in the simpler things—in contentment with the world and
enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road.
