No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a poignant and passionate story chronicling the adventures of Precious Ramotswe. Eminently sensible, she's the wise proprietor of the only female-owned detective agency in Botswana. She investigates cases, helps people solve problems in their lives, and falls in love with the highly respectable owner of a local garage.
Precious sells her late father's cows and moves to the city to become Botswana's finest - and only - female private detective. Her methods may be unconventional but she's got warmth, wit and canny intuition on her side, not to mention the support of her friends Mr JLB Matekoni, proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors and Mma Makutsi, the fastest-typing secretary in Gaborone.
Precious needs as much help as she can get, to solve the mysteries of a missing finger, a dubious Daddy, a cheating husband and as she heads into dark and dangerous territory of witchcraft.
