The one with the election . . .

When Ramotswe enters politics to oppose the construction of the dubious-sounding 'Big Fun Hotel', her opponent turns out to be local troublemaker, Violet Sephotho. But the general air of excitement cannot eclipse important matters of detection. Charlie, assigned a mysterious hit-and-run case, strives to prove his worth to his superiors as well as to Queenie-Queenie, the woman who has captured his heart.

Mma Makutsi is meanwhile in danger of being outwitted by a local bigwig property developer.
