Ladies detective agency ebook

The dismissal of an employee at a thriving local business leads to an investigation by Precious Ramotswe and self-appointed Principal Investigating Officer Grace Makutsi. But Mma Ramotswe also has to contend with the re-appearance of her ex-husband, and the arrival of a long-lost relation: another Mma Ramotswe. Can Precious draw on her strength, compassion and powers of detection to manage these surprises from the past?

At a local wedding, Mma Ramotswe reunites with a friend whose daughter has inexplicably turned away from her. Elsewhere, several ladies in the region fall under the spell of a charismatic self-styled reverend. With little work on at the agency, Precious and Mma Makutsi see no harm in looking into such curious events.

Meanwhile, Charlie is anxious. How can he, the part-time detective, secure his love's hand in marriage? Even in the quietest months, it seems, there's plenty for the No. One bright morning, Precious Ramotswe - head of Botswana's No. This woman asks Precious to take on a case: to find the nursemaid who raised her during her childhood in Botswana. The woman wants to thank her for being such an important part of her life. Precious has a history of successfully solving cases, but this one proves difficult and throws up a number of surprises and challenges.

Back in her office, next door to the Speedy Motors Garage on Twokleng Road, Precious also has a team to manage: Mr Polopetsi, a part-time science teacher and new assistant at the agency; she mentors Charlie, a former apprentice and young man too handsome and charming for his own good - a man who has gotten himself in deep water; and then there is Precious's tumultuous but heart-warming friendship with her co-director, the fiery Grace Makutsi.

Precious and Grace is a story about being a detective, the complexities of human nature, as well as lessons about gratitude and obligation. The next book in the perennially adored No. Mma Ramotswe is pleased with how her business is doing. She is a bit hazy about when exactly the No. She and Mma Makutsi set up a committee, consisting of the two of them, to plan the celebratory events, but the committee turns into something apparently permanent, meeting from time to time and rather enjoying the meetings over lunch.

The rationale of the committee is lost sight of, and no celebration ever takes place. Some things, Mma Ramotswe decides, are enjoyed more in the anticipation than the execution. Meanwhile, at a nearby game reserve, an orphaned baby elephant has been delivered. The reserve does its best to look after the elephant, but encounters opposition from neighbours.

Charlie is also juggling his engagement to Queenie Queenie, which is put into jeopardy when her father gets cold feet due to rumours spread by Queenie Queenie's brother about Charlie's past.
