"This latest installment of the beloved No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series finds Botswana's premier detective agency as busy as ever, with no shortage of sensitive situations requiring Mma Ramotswe's keen eye and discerning input. Through it all, Mma Ramotswe will demonstrate that there are solutions to all manner of difficulties, there to be discovered as long as one is led by kindness, grace, and logic, and can rely on the wise counsel of close friends and loved ones. Sometimes, she reminds us, the best solutions to life's problems can be found with a bit of good humor, generosity of spirit, and a steaming cup of red bush tea"--
An American woman named Julia approaches Mma Ramotswe for help. Her beloved late grandfather was Botswanan; years after his passing and during a rough patch in her own life, Julia has come to visit the land he had spoken of so often, and to find her relatives. All she can remember are a few first names and some descriptions of his village-- not a lot to go on, but all she has. Meanwhile, Charlie is leading his own investigation: going undercover into the Cool Singles Evening Club, where married men are encouraged to pretend to be single and meet women under false pretenses. -- adapted from jacket
