Management The phenomenal success of The No. 1 Ladies Detective
Agency continues with the bestselling Kalahari Typing School for
Men, the fourth book in the series. Mma Precious Ramotswe is
content. Her business is well established with many satisfied
customers, and in her mid-thirties (” the finest age to be” ) she
has a house, two adopted children, a fine fiance . But, as always,
there are troubles. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has not set the date for
their marriage. Her able assistant, Mma Makutsi, wants a husband.
And worse, a rival detective agency has opened in town– an agency
that does not have the gentle approach to business that Mma
Ramotswe’ s does. But, of course, Precious will manage these
things, as she always does, with her uncanny insight and her good
heart.
