Birthday present from a friend.
From the back:
Precious Ramotswe, that cheerful Botswana private investigator of 'traditional build', is finally married to Mr J. L. B. Matekoni of Tlokwent Road Speedy Motors, her detective agency is busy and life could not be better...
Well... it could, actually. If Mma Ramotswe hadn't listened to a plea of particular misfortune, she wouldn't have suffered her own mishap - a collision between her tiny white van and a bicycle. That unfortunate crash echoes another unhappy meeting - a clash of personalities. For her assistant, Mma Makutsi, has a spectacular disagreement with one of the garage appretices. He is enraptured by a fast piece with a Mercedes, and everyone knows where that sort of thing can lead...

This was my first Mma Ramotswe book but definitely not the last! What a delightful read, filled with warm humour and insight. I instantly fell in love with the definition of traditionally-built vs thin people :D
The book is next off to motherof11 as part of nattabee's Easter Exchange. Enjoy!
