Description
At a wedding, Precious Ramotswe bumps into a long-lost friend, Calviniah, who confesses that her only daughter Nametso has inexplicably turned away from her. Not only that, but an old acquaintance has simultaneously lost all her money and found solace in a charismatic ex-mechanic turned reverend, who has seemingly cast a spell over several ladies in the region. With little work on at the agency, Precious and Mma Makutsi decide to investigate. Meanwhile, part-time detective Charlie is anxious. He has few prospects and little money, so how can he convince his beloved Queenie-Queenie's father to approve of their marriage? As Precious and Mma Makutsi dig deeper into the stories of Nametso and the mysterious reverend, it will take all their ingenuity and moral good sense to get to the heart of the matter.
