Precious Ramotswe and Grace Makutsi Gaborone's No. 1 Lady Detectives do not always agree on
important issues - one being the complex male psyche. Mma Ramotswe is reminded of this when
her husband J. L. B. Matekoni is offered a daunting business opportunity one which if it
fails threatens their existing livelihood including the detective agency. Somehow Precious
must guide her husband to the right decision while being mindful of how much he wants The Joy
and Light Bus Company to succeed. Meanwhile there are other problems to solve. A wealthy
client's elderly father has changed his will making his devoted live-in nurse a significant
beneficiary and the ladies are tasked with uncovering the woman as a fraud. And then there is
the disturbing rumoured maltreatment of children living and working on a local farm which a
concerned Mma Ramotswe is intent on investigating. Full of delight Sunday Herald Hugely
enjoyable Sunday Times
