This is the third installment of the delightful No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency of mysteries set in Botswana and solved by intrepid private investigator Mme Precious Ramotswe. The author was born in Zimbabwe but spent years living in Botswana and obviously has a deep love for the country and its people and a sharp eye for detail.
Sadly, I found this story less engaging than the previous two. Mme Ramotswe investigates the poisoning of a politician's brother and the morality of beauty contest competitors. She also has to negotiate her own financial difficulties and J.L.B. Matekoni’s depression and lack of interest in his workshop.
I love the characters and I will definitely press on and read another installment someday but this wasn’t my favourite. ( )

"Who was to tell another person what size they should be? It was a form of dictatorship, by the thin, and she was not having any of it. If these thin people became any more insistent, then more generously sized people would just have to sit on them. Yes, that would teach them! Hah!"
