Author: Alexander McCall Smith

Synopsis
Precious Ramotswe has only just set up shop as Botswana’s No.1 (and only) lady detective when she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and follow a wayward daughter. However, the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is a missing eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witch doctors…

Our Review

A definite hit with our book club. A nice, gentle read about Precious and the various cases she undertook at her detective agency in Botswana. Touching, funny, sad and written in a matter-of-fact way, despite some unpleasant subjects, with great characterisation of the main characters.
