Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

Wonderfully Encouraging
There are no cons This book is exceptional as are the others in the series that i have read thus far. The subject matter and the characters appear at first glance to be simple, almost naive . However upon stopping the glancing and really listening instead you realise you are reading about goodness and beautiful people and a great country which all combined with their fine noble traditions and respect are seeking to avoid our world turning sour as it now appears to be approaching with greed and aggression and lust for power and without respect for fellows. The descriptive word i would use is "Uplifting"Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

good light read with condition as described
a second hand book with condition as good as new. a bit "poetic" sometimes about Mma Ramotzwe's love of Botswana but very enjoyable for anyone who loves the "No 1 Ladies".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Ok condition.
The book is in good condition, but the spine was bleached completely by the sun. This is disappointing from an aesthetic perspective. Otherwise, I am happy about the condition of the pages and love this series of books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
