Number 6 in the Precious Ramotswe series, in which her past catches up with her, and the future shows its face to Mma Makutsi. More serious than the previous books, but just as charming and sensitive.

I started thinking about being a woman after reading this book. I think I have a lot in common with Mma Makutsi. ( )

Another warm and interesting visit with Precious, Mr. J. L. B., and Mma Makutsi. Pumpkins, proposals, new friends, and mystery abound! ( )

Un des bons de la série que j'ai lu à date. ( )

Note Mokoti re-surfaces and demands money from Mma Ramotswe or else. After a row with Mma Makutsi, Charlie quits his job at the garage. Any detecting work comes far behind the continuing story of the characters, which by this stage in the series is what we're really interested in anyway. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 140007570X, Paperback)

In this latest, widely praised addition to the beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, the charming and ever-resourceful Precious Ramotswe finds herself faced with new challenges—and intriguing surprises.

Precious is busier than usual at the detective agency when she discovers an intruder in her house on Zebra Drive—and perhaps even more baffling--a pumpkin on her porch. Her associate, Mma Makutsi, also has a full plate. She's taken up dance lessons, only to be partnered with a man with two left feet. And at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where Mr J.L.B. Matekoni is already overburdened with work, one of his apprentices has run off with a wealthy older woman. But what finally rattles Mma Ramotswe’s normally unshakable composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a difficult secret from her past.
