In this latest installment in the beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Grace Makutsi encounters a pair of quandaries that will require all of her and Mma Ramotswe's insight and intuition to resolve.
Grace Makutsi's husband, Phuti Radiphuti, is in a bind. An international firm is attempting to undercut his prices in the office furniture market. Phuti has always been concerned with quality and comfort, but this firm seems interested only in
profits. To make matters worse, they have a slick new advertising campaign that seems hard to beat.
Meanwhile, Grace is approached by an old friend who has a troubled son. She and Phuti agree to take Patience and Modise in and lend a hand, but things don't work out quite as intended, and the situation proves difficult for them to handle. It will
require not only all of their persistence and dedication but also help from an unexpected quarter to find a solution that will make everyone happy.
Faced with more than her fair share of delicate dilemmas, Mma Makutsi deals with it all with her usual graciousness. This—along with the kindness, generosity, and good sense for which the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is known—assures
us that, in the end, each of these matters will be set right.

Grace Makutsi is behaving strangely, and that's how Mma Ramotswe finds out that Grace's husband, Phuti Makutsi, is having business problems. Then an old friend of Grace's asks for help in dealing with her misbehaving son, a situation that calls for the ladies to develop a plan that requires outside help. Lecat provides a solid and endearing presentation of Mma Ramotswe, her investigation, and the ladies' machinations, allowing listeners old and new to get to know the characters and setting that make this series shine.
