About this listen

Life is never dull for Botswana's premier lady detective, Precious Ramotswe. As a particularly delicate situation is brought to her attention, she must, with the help of her loyal associate Grace Matsuki, set out to investigate the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case. Over the course of their inquiries, unexpected information continues coming to light, leaving the pair puzzled. Eventually, Mma Ramotswe will realise that the truth, as ever, is more complicated than it first seems.

With the generosity and good humour that guide all her endeavours, Mma Ramotswe will untangle these questions for herself and her loved ones, and prove that with a healthy dose of wisdom and a steaming cup of redbush tea, compassion will always win the day.

Critic Reviews

'Wonderful characters and atmosphere with a plot that keeps surprising make this another Alexander McCall Smith treasure.' (Booklist, starred review)
'As usual in this celebrated franchise, the pace is leisurely, the felonies are minimal, the tone is reflective and the results are enchanting.' (Kirkus Reviews)
