Book description
Now that she is finally and happily married to her long-term suitor Mr
J. L.B. Matekoni, Mma Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency of
Botswana might have expected life to grow more sedate. But the many
problems that lead customers to Mma Ramotswe's door seem, if anything,
to have multiplied, and no sooner has she settled her traditionally
built person into the married state than she finds herself looking into
several troublesome matters at once. There is, to begin with, a
disturbing case of blackmail and theft from the Government catering
college. Then, while on an errand for her husband to the Mokolodi Game
Reserve Mma Ramotswe is seconded to investigate an unpleasant atmosphere
that may be down to witchcraft, or something worse. There are sinister
goings-on at a health clinic to be looked into, not to mention any
number of small wrongs to be righted along the path to detective
triumph. And all the time Mma Ramotswe has weighty questions of a
philosophical nature to consider, such as whether it is right to find
happiness in small things, such as a new pair of blue shoes, a slice of
cake, or a red sunset over the Kalahari.
