Description

THE SIXTEENTH BOOK IN THE BELOVED NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE SERIES

The one with Mma Ramotswe's summer holiday . . .

The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine follows Mma Ramotswe as she takes a break, leaving important tasks in the capable hands of Mma Makutsi, co-director of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. However, Mma Ramotswe soon finds herself interfering in cases, secretly, or so she intends.

While on 'holiday', she delves into the past of a man whose reputation is brought into question, she is called upon to rescue a small boy, and she discovers Violet Sephotho's latest underhand business endeavour: the No. 1 Ladies' Secretarial College.

Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi hires a part-time science teacher as an assistant and suspects that her authority is being undermined.

Will Mma Ramotswe be caught out?
