Wayward daughters. Missing Husbands. Philandering partners. Curious conmen. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only - and finest - female private detective.

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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'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
