內容簡介: |
As winter turns to spring across the red earth, acacia trees
and slow green rivers of Botswana, all is not quite as it should be
on Zebra Drive, home to Mma Ramotswe and her beloved husband Mr J.
L. B. Matekoni. At the No.1 Ladies'' Detective Agency there are the
usual number of cases to be pursued, from persistent theft at
Teenie Magama''s printing works to the rather more serious case of
three suspicious deaths at the Mochudi hospital, but there is
discontent among the ranks. It is bad enough that Mr Matekoni''s
apprentice Charlie is off on another escapade and Mma Makutsi''s
impending marriage threatens her happy working relationship with
Mma Ramotswe. And when - in trying to prove himself a worthy
husband - Mr J. L. B. Matekoni himself decides to try a little
detective work, disaster looms ...Tender, witty and wise, the
latest instalment in the lives of Alexander McCall''s Smith''s
extended Botswana family instructs us with familiar modesty in the
importance of trust, love, not judging by appearances and what
really makes a good husband.
