Precious and Grace is a story about life at Botswana's leading No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

Description

Precious and Grace is the seventeenth book in the beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

The one with the woman who lost her past . . .

Precious Ramotswe and Grace Makutsi's friendship is tested by a curious case: a client who left Botswana thirty years ago and remembers little of her past. The quest for the truth takes the detectives in very different directions - but what if they are both wrong?

Meanwhile, Fanwell adopts a stray dog, Mr Polopetsi becomes entangled in a tricky business deal, and Violet Sephotho could be running for a prestigious award. Can Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi move beyond their differing views to solve the case and bring harmony to the agency?
