The Kalahari Typing School for Men
Book 4 of the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
A new and aggressively advertised detective agency threatens Mma Ramotswe's business while she handles a case involving a man who wishes to make amends for an old wrongdoing. Grace Makutsi creates an evening typing school for men who need office skills but resist being taught beside women. The successful classes promise income and possible romance, though one student's account of his personal life deserves investigation. Warm and humorous, this fourth series installment suits readers who enjoy entrepreneurial women, Botswana workplaces, low-stakes mysteries, moral repair, and plots in which typing lessons prove as consequential as formal detective work.
