Publisher Description
THE ELEVENTH BOOK IN THE BELOVED NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY SERIES
The one with the difficult aunt . . .
The no. 1 lady detectives of Botswana travel to a safari lodge in the Okavango Delta to carry out a delicate mission on behalf of a former guest. It is a beautiful place full of dangerous, untamed creatures - some of them human.
As Mma Ramotswe investigates, it becomes clearer that there is another mystery right under her nose that needs solving: Mma Makutsi is troubled by her fiance Phuti Radiphuti's reluctance to set a date for their wedding.
In such matters at least Mma Ramotswe is on familiar terrain.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As in 2009 s Tea Time for the Traditionally Built, the previous entry in this beguiling, bestselling series, a personal crisis for one of the leads, rather than a mystery, drives the plot of Smith s superb 12th novel set in Botswana featuring his infinitely understanding sleuth, Precious Ramotswe. When a delivery truck backs into Phuti Radiphuti, the fianc of Mma Ramotswe s prickly and insecure assistant, Grace Makutsi, and crushes his leg against a wall, Phuti s rude aunt won t allow Grace to visit her beloved in the hospital. Meanwhile, the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency tries to help the executor of an American woman, who wished to leave some money to a kind tour guide, but couldn t recall the guide s name. The resolution to the problem of another client, who was cheated out of his home by a gold-digger, might strike some as unduly fortuitous, but it makes sense within the framework of these books, which are more about humanity than logic.

Simple and brilliant. McCall Smith has an amazing ability to write about ordinary people in a Botswana culture who do interesting and intriguing things, and make it really good reading. Don Jamieson

Returning to Mma Ramotswe's refreshingly simple wisdom is like enjoying a cup of tea with an old friend.
