It is unfortunate for example when Mma Ramotswe's newest client is the big-shot owner of the ailing Kalahari Swoopers that one thing lady detectives know very little about is football. & when the glamorous violet Sephotho sets her sights on Mma Makutsi's unsuspecting fiance it becomes exasperatingly clear that some men do not know how to recognise a ruthless Jezebel even when she is bouncing up & down on the best bed in the Double Comfort Furniture Shop.
