The contrast between Gaborone's social world and the wilderness of the Delta; the investigation as a journey both geographic and human
What this book is about
Mma Ramotswe and Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni make a trip to the Okavango Delta, and the journey becomes an investigation — a client has asked her to find the family of a man who died in Botswana's wilderness. Simultaneously, the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency continues its domestic cases in Gaborone. Alexander McCall Smith's eleventh Ramotswe novel takes the series beyond its usual setting and into the extraordinary landscape of the Okavango, rendered with the same affection the series has always given to Botswana's geography.
