Makutsi's wedding begins,
all is not as it should
be at the No.1 Ladies'
Detective Agency. While
investigating unpleasant
occurrences on a southern
cattle-post, Mma
Ramotswe, always on the

turns out that even the

apparitions - and the
most shocking of crimes -
may yield to rational
explanation. And, of
course, to Mma
Ramotswe's inimitable way
with love, intuition and
redbush tea.
