Maketoni, the charming proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. And Precious is going to need them all as she sets out on the trail of a missing child, a case that tumbles our heroine into a hotbed of strange situations and more than a little danger ...Delightfully different, THE NO.1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY series offers a captivating glimpse of an unusual world.

Media Reviews
'There is something almost divinely appealing about the way Alexander McCall Smith writes about daily life in Botswana... it is hard to think of a contemporary writer more genuinely engaging... His novels are also extremely funny: I find it impossible to think about them without smiling' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
