The first book in the multimillion copy bestselling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency seriesThe one where it all beginsMma Ramotswe is the proud proprietor of the finest ladies detective agency in all Botswana (also the only one). She spends her time, with a cup of redbush tea beneath the acacia tree, waiting for clients. When they come along, whether it is to enquire after a missing spouse or check the identity of a longlost father, it is not The Principles of Private Detection that helps her to solve cases but oldfashioned common sense and a warmhearted understanding of the fallibility of human nature especially that of men.Among the greatest comfortreads of all time Sunday TimesJolly and exhilarating Sunday TelegraphThe Miss Marple of Botswana New York Times Book ReviewA publishing phenomenon Guardian
