Morality for Beautiful Girls
Book 3 of the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
Financial pressure moves the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency into Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors just as Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni withdraws into a serious depression. Precious Ramotswe ensures her fiance receives care while Grace Makutsi assumes management of the garage and its unruly apprentices. Their cases include investigating a government's fearful household and assessing the character of contestants in a beauty pageant. Wry and compassionate, this series installment suits readers who enjoy Botswana life, workplace reshuffling, thoughtful treatment of mental illness, questions of character beneath appearances, and women proving their competence in professions men assume belong to them.
