1999 saw The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency named one of the "International Books of the Year and the Millennium" by the Times Literary Supplement and gain two Special Recommendations from Booker Judges.
The captivating and witty Precious Ramotswe, the proprietor and investigator of Botswana's first ladies' detective service, gives us further insight into her life in Tears of the Giraffe. Wayward spouses, dishonest servants, and a mother's agony over her kid who has been missing for a long time on the plains of Africa are some of the situations she handles. The most hilarious and endearingly amusing of stories are created by Mma Ramotswe's own upcoming marriage to that most gentlemanly of men, Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, her secretary's elevation to the position of Assistant Detective, and the arrival of additional members of the Matekoni family.
