Mma Ramotswe, who became engaged to Mr J.L.B. Matekoni at the end of the first book, is still engaged.

She wonders when a day for the wedding will be named, but she is anxious to avoid putting too much pressure on her fiance.

For indeed he has other things on his mind - notably a frightening request made of him by Mma Potokwani, pushy matron of the Orphan Farm.

Mma Ramotswe herself has weighty matters on her mind.

She has been approached by a wealthy lady - whose fortune comes from successful hair-braiding salons - and has been asked to check up on several suitors.

Are these men just interested in her money? This may be difficult to find out, but Mma Ramotswe is, of course, a very intuitive lady .

Fifth novel set in Gamborone, the capital of Botswana and featuring Precious Ramotswe and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
