About the book
In this seventh installment in the internationally bestselling, universally beloved series, there is considerable excitement at the shared premises of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors.
A snake has been discovered in Precious Ramotswe's office. Subsequently, a nurse from a nearby medical clinic discloses to Mma Ramotswe that inaccurate blood pressure readings are being documented there. Additionally, it appears that Aunty Emang, the advice columnist in the local newspaper, may not be as genuine as believed.
All of these incidents result in a significant amount of work for Mma Ramotswe and her trusted assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are more than prepared to take on the challenge. However, complications arise in Mma Makutsi's personal life. Her avaricious uncles are requesting a larger bride price from her well-off fiancé, Phuti Radiphuti, a man of wealth. While money can purchase her a trendy yet uncomfortable pair of blue shoes, it cannot buy the happiness promised by Mma Ramotswe - satisfaction in the simple things, contentment with the world, and enough tea to ease the occasional rough patches in life.
