Synopsis

Wayward daughters. Missing Husbands. Philandering partners. Curious conmen. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only - and finest - female private detective.

Her methods may not be conventional, and her manner not exactly Miss Marple, but she's got warmth, wit and canny intuition on her side, not to mention Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, the charming proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. And Precious is going to need them all as she sets out on the trail of a missing child, a case that tumbles our heroine into a hotbed of strange situations and more than a little danger . . .

Delightfully different, THE NO.1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY offers a captivating glimpse of an unusual world.

The No. 1 Ladies (Detective Agency')

novels transfer exceptionally well to audio, thanks to Adjoa Andoh's lively, richly humorous narration (The TIMES)

The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision. (Anthony Daniels, Sunday TELEGRAPH)

Adjoa Andoh reads like a dream (GUARDIAN)
