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 Ramotswe8217;s normally unshakable composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a difficult secret from her past.
For just-married Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, life is no idyllic honeymoon. Her husband, car mechanic J. L. B. Maketoni, struggles to keep up with work after one of his apprentices runs off with a married woman. Mma Ramotswe, meanwhile, must cope with an intruder and the unwelcome arrival of her abusive first husband, Note Mokoti. This is the sixth entry in a bestselling mystery series.
