reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


The second in the series finds Precious Ramotswe's detective agency flourishing as is her romance with Mr. JLB Matekoni as she gets involved with a 10 year old missing person case and a philandering wife.

Botswana and its people come to life in this series as Precious and her secretary, who has earned a promotion to assistant detective, must ponder the question of being honest to their clients with causing grief and unhappiness. An enjoyable and different kind of mystery. A cosy in the English tradition, but set in Africa. Her views of other countries on the continent are refreshing and biting.
