Mma Ramotswe. always on the side of the weak against the strong. has reason to reflect on Rule No. 3 of The Principles of Private Detection: never lie to the client.

In her attempt to foster understanding between the sexes and find the traitor on Mr Football's team. Mma Ramotswe ventures into new territory. drinks tea in unfamiliar kitchens and learns to trust in the observational powers of… Read More
