Description

In Gaborone, Mma Precious Ramotswe—beloved proprietor of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency—finds her days stretched between two cases and the quiet, restorative routines that keep her world in balance. When disturbing developments surrounding the will of a respected local dignitary, Edgar Molapo, raise unsettling questions of fraud and a hidden family truth, Mma Ramotswe must follow the clues with patience, empathy, and a keen sense of human nature. Meanwhile, troubling complications tied to Mma Makutsi’s own professional life suggest that old rivalries may be more entangled than anyone wants to admit. With Alexander McCall Smith’s signature warmth and wry insight, this novel explores trust, integrity, and the small moral choices that shape a community—one investigation at a time.
