Book 13 in No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
In the latest collection there are several storylines to keep track of. Mma Potokwane, the matron of the orphans farm, is facing dismissal from her job. Add to this Phuti Radiphuti and his new bride, Grace Maskutsi are having a house built by a contractor who isn't quite following the rules. I raced through the book, hoping that all would come out well in the end.
But the most interesting addition is the arrival of Clovis Andersen, whose book The Principle of Private Detection has been the guide for the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency since day one. Plus Fanwell (one of the apprentices at the garage) finds himself in legal trouble, by helping a friend fix a vehicle that ends up being a stolen vehicle. So Mma Ramotswe has her hands full dealing with all these issues.
Happily in the end all the issues are resolved in a satisfying manner. I really enjoyed the addition of Clovis to the story as both Mma Ramotswe and Mma Maskutsi try to impress him with their knowledge and use of his book.
