The 8th in the phenomenally popular "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, set in Botswana. Tender, witty and wise, it instructs us, with familiar modesty, in the importance of trust, love, not judging by appearances and what really makes a good husband.

He has also achieved extreme success with his "Sunday Philosophy Club" and "44 Scotland Street" series.
