About this product
Product Information
THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 8 Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana s premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea. In the life of Precious Ramotswe a woman duly proud of her fine traditional build there is rarely a dull moment, and in the latest installment in the universally beloved No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series there is much happening on Zebra Drive and Tlokweng Road. Mma Ramotswe is experiencing staffing difficulties. First Mr. J.L.B. Mate-koni asks to be put in charge of a case involving an errant husband. But can a man investigate such matters as successfully as the number one lady detective can? Then she has a minor falling-out with her assistant, Mma Makutsi, who decides to leave the agency, taking the 97 percent she received on her typing final from the Botswana Secretarial College with her. Along the way, Mma Ramotswe is asked to investigate a couple of tricky cases. Will she be able to explain an unexpected series of deaths at the hospital in Mochudi? And what about the missing office supplies at a local printing company? These are the types of questions that she is uniquely well suited to answer. In the end, whatever happens, Mma Ramotswe knows she can count on Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, who stands for all that is solid and true in a shifting world. And there is always her love for Botswana, a country of which she is justifiably proud."

Praise forBlue Shoes and Happiness(Book 7): National Bestseller "It is lovely to be in the presence of the wise Mma Ramotswe. . . . How could you not love a friend like [her]?" -Edmonton Journal "The greatest pleasure in reading these books is Ramotswe's view of life. . . . Anybody who needs some gentle reassurance about life would be rewarded by putting on a soft bathrobe and sinking intoBlue Shoes and Happiness." -The London Free Press Praise for theNo. 1 Ladies' Detective Agencyseries: "Delightful . . . The warm humanity infused throughout [McCall Smith's] novels is what brings readers back . . . There is simplicity and lyricism in [the] language that brings out the profound importance of everyday revelations." -San Francisco Chronicle "There is something so soothing about Precious Ramotswe's adventures. Reading one is like taking a lazy cruise down a slow-moving river on a hot day. And as diverse as the mysteries in each book are, there is always a common thread that draws them together in their solutions. I often wonder how Alexander McCall Smith does it, because I never suspect how everything will turn out, beyond that all will be for the best." -New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal, Praise for the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series: " Enchanting . . .
