“Beloved Botswana sleuth Precious Ramotswe is back—and better than ever … By turns laugh-out-loud funny and quietly profound, these life-affirming mysteries are fine company, indeed.” —Booklist, starred review

This is the newest addition to internationally best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith’s popular No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. There are some important changes in the life of Botswana’s original female private investigator, the ever-charming Precious Ramotswe. Finally wedded to J.L.B. Matekoni, she can now address the surplus of interesting cases that have been piling up!
