IN THE COMPANY/CHEERFUL LADIES(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　In this latest, widely praised addition to the beloved No. 1
Ladies’ Detective Agency series, the charming and ever-resourceful
Precious Ramotswe finds herself faced with new challenges–and
intriguing surprises. Precious is busier than usual at the
detective agency when she discovers an intruder in her house on
Zebra Drive–and perhaps even more baffling–a pumpkin on her
porch. Her associate, Mma Makutsi, also has a full plate. She’s
taken up dance lessons, only to be partnered with a man with two
left feet. And at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, where Mr J.L.B.
Matekoni is already overburdened with work, one of his apprentices
has run off with a wealthy older woman. But what finally rattles
Mma Ramotswe’s normally unshakable composure is a visitor who
forces her to confront a difficult secret from her past.
