Review

'There is something almost divinely appealing about the way Alexander McCall Smith writes about daily life in Botswana... it is hard to think of a contemporary writer more genuinely engaging... His novels are also extremely funny: I find it impossible to think about them without smiling' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

*The fifth in the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series *Highly original 'detective' stories with unique setting and characters for people who are fed up with aggressive literature which dwells on selfishness, discourtesy and conflict. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

In the fifth book in the prodigiously successful series, traditionally built, eminently sensible Mma Precious Ramotswe continues her enterprise at the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in Gaborone, Botswana, a country that is indeed fortunate.

Still engaged to the estimable Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, Mma Ramotswe understands that she should not put too much pressure on him, as he has other concerns, especially a hair-raising request from the ever persuasive Mma Potokwane, matron of the orphan farm. Besides Mma Ramotswe herself has weighty matters on her mind. She has been approached by a wealthy lady to check up on several suitors. Are these men interested in the lady or just her money? This may be a difficult case, but it's just the kind of problem Mma Ramotswe likes and she is, as we know, a very intuitive lady. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Back Cover

The one where Mr J. L. B. Matekoni takes a great leap Once again, Mma Ramotswe is asked to look into the love lives of her fellow Botswanans. A rich woman has a number of suitors and wants her to investigate their motives. But to tell the truth, it is her own love life about which Precious wants answers. She has been engaged to Mr J. L. B. Matekoni for so long that she is starting to wonder if they will ever marry. His mind, though, is elsewhere - Mma Potokwani has persuaded him to perform a parachute jump for charity, and he is not happy about it at all . . .
