Publisher's Summary

The delightful, enchanting story of Precious Ramotswe’s very first case, read by Adjoa Andoh. What would you do if someone was stealing things from your friends? Would you try and find out who the thief was? Once upon a time in Botswana in Africa, there was a little girl called Precious. She would grow up to be famous as Precious Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, but she had to solve her first mystery while still at school. Who has been taking things that don’t belong to them, and how can Precious make sure the wrong person doesn’t get the blame?

Adojoa Andoh can do no wrong for me

If you could sum up Precious and the Monkeys in three words, what would they be?

Continually great books

Have you listened to any of Adjoa Andoh’s other performances? How does this one compare?

As brilliant as they all are…..she's my favourite narrator in all genres

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next one
