But then a distant cousin of Mma Ramotswe's comes to the agency with a plea for help and the ladies decide to pursue the issue together. Armed with Mma Ramotswe's circumspection and Mma Makutsi's sharp eye, they proceed with confidence and open hearts. What, after all, could be more straightforward than a family matter? Meanwhile, their colleague Charlie is behaving oddly, borrowing Mma Ramotswe's van and returning it in an unusual condition. Digging a little deeper, the explanation is both strange and extraordinary, and takes Charlie, along with Mma Ramotswe's husband, Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, on a hair-raising night-time expedition. In the end, Precious is reminded of the need to view a picture from every angle, to accept the imperfections in people and situations and then find a solution - preferably over a delicious slice of her friend Mma Potokwani's fruit cake. 600 10 $a Ramotswe, Precious $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction $0 (DLC)nb2015010154 650 0 $a Women private investigators $v Fiction $0 (DLC)sh 99014701 650 0 $a Elephants $v Fiction $0 (DLC)sh 85042531 651 0 $a Botswana $v Fiction $0 (DLC)n 79079238 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books $2 lcgft 830 0 $a No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, $v 21. $0 (TLC)tlc20150520185336947000000 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020338.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77E2500227B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
