The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
Book 1 of the The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
After her beloved father's death, Precious Ramotswe uses her inheritance to establish Botswana's first detective agency run by a woman. Armed with intelligence, intuition, patience, and a deep understanding of human behavior, she begins helping clients with problems ranging from deception and family worries to a missing child. Her investigations introduce the people and everyday rhythms of Gaborone while revealing that compassion can be as important as evidence. Gentle humor, thoughtful observations, and restorative cups of bush tea make this a welcoming cozy mystery for a quiet afternoon or a day when you are too tired for something grim.
