Precious Ramotswe, Mma Ramotswe, opened the only woman-run detective agency in Botswana following to her father's dying wish that she opened her own business with her inheritance. The reader learns much about the African culture as they witness Mma Ramotswe's clever detective work which solves a fun mixture of cases. The overriding case throughout the book involves a missing boy and witchcraft of old.
Funny and great character development.
Caution: In the beginning, Mma Ramotswe's fiancee forces himself on her and is physically abusive. Once married, he is abusive, unfaithful and tries to kill their unborn baby. She plans to leave him but finds after her hospital stay that he left her (she loses the baby). Fortunately these events are not told in detail. Not many pages are dedicated to the events. As a result Mma Ramotswe's view of men is very negative and that tone is throughout the book.
