But when she learns about the proposed construction of the flashy Big Fun Hotel next to a graveyard, she allows herself to be persuaded. Her opponent is none other than Violet Sephotho, who is in the pocket of the hotel developers. Although Violet is intent on using every trick in the book to secure her election, Mma Ramotswe refuses to promise anything beyond what she can deliver--hence her slogan: 'I can't promise anything--but I shall do my best.' To everyone's surprise, she wins. As it turns out, politics does not agree with Mma Ramotswe. Though everyone is supportive, she eventually resigns. She thinks there will be a new election, but she discovers that the rules state that in such an event, the runner-up automatically takes the seat. Violet is triumphant, and sure that she will get the Big Fun Hotel planning application through without a hitch. But Mma Makutsi and Mma Potokwane are not about to make it easy for her. Through it all, Mma Ramotswe uses her good humor and generosity of spirit to help the community navigate divisive issues, and proves that honesty and compassion will always carry the day"--Provided by publisher. 521 2 $a Adult $b Follett Library Resources. 600 10 $a Ramotswe, Precious $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women private investigators $z Botswana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Imaginary organization) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Botswana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories. 600 17 $a Ramotswe, Precious $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women private investigators $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Imaginary organization) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Botswana $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a McCall Smith, Alexander, $d 1948- $t No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. 521 2 $a Adult. 510 0 $a Pub Weekly 510 0 $a Booklist 510 0 $a Kirkus Review 941 $a 1 952 $l STPC124 $d 20230418020008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A45039A6DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
