The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswanas premier lady detective. In the first book of the bestselling series, Mma Ramotswe - with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi - navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humour and the occasional cup of tea.

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

Her methods may not be conventional, and her manner not exactly Miss Marple, but shes 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 . . .

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is the 1st book in the series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order
