"The newest addition to the ever-popular, internationally beloved series finds Precious Ramotswe and her friends up to their necks in mysterious trouble. Mma Ramotswe knows she is very lucky indeed. She has a loving family, good friends, and a thriving business doing what she enjoys most: helping people. But the latest mystery she is called upon to solve is distinctly trickier than it initially appears, and, of course, there's plenty to handle in her personal life between Charlie and his new bride and Mma Makutsi and her talking shoes. In the end, Mma Ramotswe's patience and common sense will win out, and, without a doubt, all will be the better for it"-- Provided by publisher.

In this latest installment in the beloved No. 1 Ladiesâ Detective Agency series, Mma Ramotswe is tempted to put the brakes on a business venture before it even gets rolling.
Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni attends a course hosted by the local chamber of commerce entitled âWhere Is Your Business Going?â But rather than feeling energized, he comes back in low spirits, unsure how to grow the already venerable and successful Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. Then an old friend from school approaches him about a new business venture that could be just the ticket. When it turns out he will need to mortgage his property in order to pursue this endeavor, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi wonder what this will mean for his current businessâas well as for their own.Â
Even as she puzzles over mysteries on the domestic front, Mma Ramotsweâs professional duties must take precedence. When a concerned son learns that his aging fatherâs nurse now stands to inherit the family home, he begins to doubt her intentions and takes his case to Botswanaâs premier detective agency. Fortunately, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi, committed agents of justice, agree to investigate.
Â
Tricky as these matters may be, Mma Ramotswe, armed with her usual supply of tact, humor and good will, knows that the most creative solu-tions are often found with the support of friends and family and a cup of red bush tea. With these reliable assets, she is certain to ensure that all involved find the happiness that they deserve.
