Tears of the Giraffe

    The nº1 Ladies'detective Agency has become a huge success in Botswana, and its lead detective Precious Ramotswe is gaining quite the reputation.

      Among are wayward wives and unscrupulous maids, plus the added excitement of Mma Ramotswe's own impending marriage to that most gentlemanly of men,  Mr J.L.B. Matekoni.

Soon business is so good that her talented secretary Grace Makutsi (a graduate of the Botswana Secretarial college, with a mark of 97 per cent) is promoted to the dizzying heights of Assistant Detective. And then the arrival of two new members to the Matekoni family make life in Gaborone very interesting indeed.
