About the book
National bestseller
In this latest installment in the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, Mma Ramotswe is tempted to put the brakes on a business venture before it even gets rolling.
Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni recently attended a course titled ‘Where Is Your Business Going?’ hosted by the local chamber of commerce. However, instead of feeling inspired, he returned feeling downcast, unsure about the future of his already established and successful Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. His old school friend then approached him with an exciting new business proposal that would require him to mortgage the garage. This decision sparked worries for Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi, not only for his current business but also for their own.
Despite being preoccupied with domestic mysteries, Mma Ramotswe’s duty as a professional detective comes first. A son's concern over his elderly father's nurse potentially inheriting the family home leads him to seek help from Botswana’s top detective agency. Thankfully, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi, dedicated to justice, agree to take on the case.
Though complex, Mma Ramotswe knows that solving these issues requires her trademark blend of tact, humor, and goodwill, as well as the support of friends and family over a cup of red bush tea. With these reliable tools, she is confident in bringing happiness to all involved.
