Following from The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, this book continues the adventures of Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only - and finest - private detective.
It's going to take all her intuition and eminent sensibility for Precious to crack her hardest case yet - the decade-old disappearance of an American on the edge of Kalahari. And if that wasn't enough, there are plenty of matters closer to home to concern her - her highly talented secretarry, Mme Makutsi, eager to be promoted to detective, the unscrupulous maid of her husband-to-e, the wonderful Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, and the sudden - and unexpected - increase in her family by not one but two.

I finished reading this book today. This was the first of the series I read, and will read the other books I can find.
The book is fun, well written mystery, and written in a happy way. The dialogues are funny, and it just brings a piece of adventure. Much more interesting than all Miss Marples out there - something different, a Botswanan lady detective...
The story is of correct length, and the story was all candy and sunshine. Just what I needed, hence the score 9. Very enjoyable.
The book will be traveling to dorng.
