The Book Club book
This book follows the story of Precious Ramotswe who has just started as Botswana's first and only lady private detective. We follow her solving a number of cases - a missing husband, a con man, a problem daughter, and most of all the case of a missing eleven-year-old boy. This is a charming book - a light, comfort read set in Africa, and offering a glimpse into Botswanan life and culture.
