Book summary

In the seventh cozy mystery starring Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of the No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, the Botswanan sleuth investigates a cook’s blackmailer, a doctor handing out the wrong medications, and her assistant Mma Makutsi’s concern that her fiancé disapproves of her feminism, as well as coping with a cobra found in her own office and the decision to go on a diet.

Media Reviews


"This combination of cautionary tale and comfort blanket, the 'traditionally built' (i.e. fat) detective and the portrayal of the 'old' Botswana are a delight."

   -- Jessica Mann

"[A] tale as refreshing as a month in the country--the country of Botswana. " (starred review)



Publisher Notes


Precious Ramotswe and her able assistant, Grace Makutsi, launch an investigation into local advice columnist Aunty Emang, who somehow may be linked to trouble at a local medical clinic and the cobra that somehow ended up in Precious's office, while Grace confronts her own troubles with her greedy uncles and her wealthy fiancT, Phuti Radiphuti.
