Publisher's Summary

Winner of the British Book Awards, Author of the Year, 2004.
Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award, 2004.

"Ex-CID. Ex-New York. Ex-cellent" reads the sign outside the Satisfaction Guarantee Detective Agency. Cephas Buthelezi certainly talks the talk, Precious discovers, but would he have the wherewithal to deal with her current case, a man who has been attacked by ostrich rustlers and is eager to reassess his life?

Meanwhile, there are difficulties at the Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where one of the apprentices has discovered the Lord; problems at home with the mysterious death of a hoopoe; and romantic complications when Mma Makutsi sets up a typing school for men.

Critic Reviews

"Mma Ramotswe's methods and her results are as unusual as the novels they inhabit...All this activity is much less about whodunnit than why." ( New York Times)
"McCall Smith is a careful, emblematic writer who is beyond gifted, he is a natural storyteller. McCall Smith has once again charmed the sarongs off us." ( The List)

Gentle and Moorish

l am really enjoying the gentle stories of the life of this excellent woman. l have been inspired by the way this character is portrayed as such a wise, righteous, kind woman of virtue and in fact by the, "Old African ways". Such a contrast to the western values of time and money priorities. However, when l tried to read these books l quickly became distracted. They MUST be heard on this format to appreciate the accents that so aptly represent the spirit of the African people and their unique and enviable mindset.
