Publisher's Summary
Grace Makutsi’s husband, Phuti, is in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market. Phuti has always been concerned with quality and comfort, but this new firm seems interested only in profits. To make matters worse, they have a slick new advertising campaign that seems hard to beat. Nonetheless with Mma Ramotswe’s help, Phuti comes up with a campaign that may just do the trick.
Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. Grace and Phuti agree to lend a hand, but the boy proves difficult to reach, and the situation is more than they can handle on their own. It will require not only all of their patience and dedication, but also the help of Mma Ramotswe and the formidable Mma Potokwani in order to help the child.
Faced with more than her fair share of domestic problems, Mma Makutsi deals with it all with her usual grace. That, along with the kindness, generosity and good sense that the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency is known for, assure us that in the end, all these matters will be set right.

Skill and tenderness
As always, Alexander McCall Smith takes us on a wonderful journey into the hearts and minds of the most beloved characters!
With the unerring skill of a consummate novelist, he lives within the people he has developed, and we are never disappointed in their realism or their whimsicality.
As always, his storyline allows for mystery, intrigue, philosophy, frustration and reflection to braid themselves into such a powerful connection between Botswana and the love of the people and to us, wherever we are. We love each and every character, even Violet! I long for the next one. Each one is real.
