The second book in the multi-million copy bestselling No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency series
"The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" introduced the world to the one and
only Precious Ramotswe - the engaging and sassy owner of Botswana's only
detective agency. "Tears of the Giraffe", McCall Smith's latest novel,
takes us further into this world as we follow Mma Ramotswe into more daring
situations. Among her cases this time are wayward wives, unscrupulous maids,
and the challenge to resolve a mother's pain for her son who is long lost
on the African plains. Indeed, Mma Ramotswe's own impending marriage to
the most gentlemanly of men, Mr J.L.B. Matekoni, the promotion of Mma's
secretary to the dizzy heights of Assistant Detective, and the arrival
of new members to the Matekoni family, all brew up the most humorous and
charmingly entertaining of tales.
