One bright morning, Precious Ramotswe
- head of Botswana`s No. 1 Ladies` Detective Agency
- receives a visitor: a woman from Australia. This woman asks Precious to take on a case: to find the nursemaid who raised her during her childhood in Botswana. The woman wants to thank her for being such an important part of her life. Precious has a history of successfully solving cases, but this one proves difficult & throws up a number of surprises & challenges. Back in her office, next door to the Speedy Motors Garage on Twokleng Road, Precious also has a team to manage: Mr Polopetsi, a part-time science teacher & new assistant at the agency; she mentors Charlie, a former apprentice & young man too handsome & charming for his own good
- a man who has gotten himself in deep water; & then there is Precious`s tumultuous but heart-warming friendship with her co-director, the fiery Grace Makutsi. Precious & Grace is a story about being a detective, the complexities of human nature, as well as lessons about gratitude & obligation.
