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.
