When a visitation makes Mma Ramotswe face a secret from her past, her ordinarily unflappable calm is upset.
Precious Ramotswe, the endearing and resourceful character from the wildly popular No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, is faced with an excessive number of issues in the latest installment. A weird intruder at her home on Zebra Drive and the puzzling emergence of a pumpkin add to her already excessive workload at the detective agency. Next up is Mma Makutsi, who makes the decision to treat herself to dancing lessons, only to be paired with a guy who doesn't appear to know how to dance. Furthermore, not everything at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors is going as well as it typically does. The honorable Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, the spouse of Mma Ramotswe, is inundated with work even prior to one of his apprentices abducting a rich lady. However, a visitor who makes Mma Ramotswe face a secret from her history is what ultimately causes her generally unwavering calm.
The scene is set against the bright backdrop of Botswana, the country that Mma Ramotswe adores, a place of vast stretches of uninhabited space, resonant sky, and an abundant supply of calming bush tea.
