What this book is about
The second No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novel follows Precious Ramotswe as she searches for an American man who disappeared in Botswana a decade earlier. Meanwhile, her assistant Grace Makutsi is developing into a full character, and Mma Ramotswe's impending marriage to Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni adds domestic happiness to the mix. Smith's series is warm, wise, and unashamedly gentle.
