La 1a agencia de mujeres detectives (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency)

Precious Ramotswe is an unlikely heroine who specializes in missing husbands, wayward daughters, con men and imposters. When she sets out on the trail of a missing child she stumbles head-on into some strange situations and not a little danger. Deftly interweaving tragedy and humor to create a memorable tale of human desires and foibles, the book is also an evocative portrait of a distant world.
