Sinossi
Per Precious Ramotswe, titolare della Ladies' Detective Agency N. 1 del Botswana, non c'è un attimo di pace. Non soltanto deve placare i sensi di colpa di un nuovo cliente, legati a qualche peccatuccio di gioventù, ma è anche costretta a far fronte all'infelicità che affligge alcune persone a lei care e all'indecisione del signor JLB Matekoni, proprietario dell'officina Speedy Motors, nonché suo fidanzato, il quale non si risolve a fissare la data delle nozze. E, come se non bastasse, in città ha aperto i battenti una nuova agenzia investigativa, gestita da un tale terribilmente tronfio e maschilista. Ma la signora Ramotswe non è certo il tipo che si abbatte... bastano un po' di buon senso, molta comprensione e una tazza di tè rosso.

These books drive me crazy, but instead of talking about what I don't like about them, I want to say what I do like. I keep reading them for some reason, so I think it is about time I figure out why. The first reason is that the author, clearly, has an affection for Botswana. He describes cattle in a Leggi tutto
