Fans around the world adore the bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective
Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier
lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe--with help from
her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi--navigates her cases and her personal
life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.
Precious Ramotswe is the eminently sensible and cunning proprietor of
the only ladies' detective agency in Botswana. In Tears of the
Giraffe she tracks a wayward wife, uncovers an unscrupulous maid, and
searches for an American man who disappeared into the plains many years
ago. In the midst of resolving uncertainties, pondering her impending
marriage to a good, kind man, Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, and the promotion
of her talented secretary (a graduate of the Botswana Secretarial
College, with a mark of 97 per cent), she also finds her family suddenly
and unexpectedly increased by two.
