The eleventh book in the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

This is the series that started it all, featuring Precious Ramotswe – Botswana's leading, and only, female private detective.

About the Book:

Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi are called to a safari lodge in Botswana’s Okavango Delta to carry out a delicate mission on behalf of a former guest.

The Okavango makes Precious appreciate once again the beauty of her homeland: it is a paradise of teeming wildlife, majestic grasslands and sparkling water. However, it is also home to rival safari operators, fearsome crocodiles and disgruntled hippopotamuses. What’s more, Mma Makutsi still does not have a date for her wedding to Phuti Radiphuti and is feeling rather tetchy herself. But Precious knows that with a little patience, just as the wide river will gently make its way round any obstacle, so will everything work out for the best in the end . . .

Reviews

• ‘The books possess a beguiling simplicity that is hard to convey without making them seem fey, when in fact they are direct, vivid and down-to-earth … what he achieves in his No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency novels is the depiction in the lives of his main characters of a benign system of morality – derived by Mma Ramotswe from the old-fashioned ways of doing things’ DAILY TELEGRAPH
