It is a troublesome fact on which even Mma Ramotswe & her assistant Mma Makutsi agree: there are things that men know & ladies do not & vice versa. 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. In her attempt to foster understanding between the sexes & find the traitor on Mr Football's team Mma Ramotswe ventures into new territory drinks tea in unfamiliar kitchens & learns to trust in the observational powers of small boys. & as wise & warm-hearted as his heroine Alexander Mc Call Smith reminds us that we must dig deep to uncover the goodness of the human heart.
