Mma Ramotswe and Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni are enjoying a nice meal out at a periperi restaurant when an American woman named Julia approaches seeking Mma Ramotswe's help. Julia's beloved late grandfather was Botswanan, and he instilled in her an abiding love of his homeland. Now, years after his passing and during a rough patch in her own life, Julia has come to visit the land he had spoken of so often and to find her relatives. Unfortunately, her grandfather's stories, while remarkably charming and entertaining, were somewhat light on detail; all Julia can remember are a few first names and some descriptions of his village. It's not a lot to go on, but if anyone is well poised to help, it's Mma Ramotswe, Botswana's premier detective. Meanwhile, a second case leads Mma Ramotswe to look for assistance from an unexpected quarter. For the first time ever, Charlie leads his own investigation at the detective agency, going undercover into a dubious, word-of-mouth gettogether known as the Cool Singles Evening Club, where married men are encouraged to pretend to be single and meet women under false pretenses. Who could be behind such a distasteful venture? Getting to the bottom of this will be a tall order, to be sure, but Charlie is eager for the opportunity. As Mma Ramotswe learns more about Julia, she begins to understand that Julia's heartbreak runs deeper than she had initially realized. Together, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potokwane must find a way to help their client heal and move forward--from both her past and her present. Julia had originally come to Botswana seeking family and connection, but in the warm embrace of Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potokwane, what she ends up finding is a home."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books McCall Smith m Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books McCall Smith Mystery Checked out 06/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books McCall Smith   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction McCall Smith   Checked out 06/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction McCall-Smith   Checked out 06/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Mystery McCall Smith [New] Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books McCall Smith [mystery] Checked out 06/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Mystery McCall Smith   Checked out 06/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
