●在作者的「堅強淑女偵探社」系列裏，勇敢的非洲女性Precious Ramotswe在非洲南部波札那開了一間偵探社，解決了無數大小人物的生活煩惱。書中沒有冷酷的犯罪案件，而是一些與生活習習相關的困擾，而在解決問題的過程中，展現了人性的關懷及溫暖，處處可見的小機智，及充滿非洲人情味的生活意趣。 ●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.
