The eighth instalment of Alexander McCall Smith's wonderful No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series

The one where Mma Ramotswe's husband plays detective

At the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency there are many new cases for Precious Ramotswe to attend to, including thefts at Teenie Magama's printing works and the grave matter of three suspicious deaths at the hospital. But her attention is distracted by domestic problems, for the engagement of Mma Makutsi to Phuti Radiphuti is threatening their friendship. And unknown to them both, the good husband of Zebra Drive, Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, has been tempted into some detective work of his own, with disastrous results.
