Divorcée d'un mari trompettiste porté sur la bouteille, Precious Ramotswe a choisi de refaire sa vie avec un gentleman garagiste nommé J.L.B Matekoni.

Un beau jour, l'inénarrable " Mma " se jette à l'eau et ouvre à Gabarone, capitale du Botswana, un bureau d'un nouveau genre : la première agence de détectives strictement au féminin. En compagnie de son assistante, Mma Makutsi, Precious Ramotswe déclare la guerre aux belles-filles têtues, aux maris en fuite et aux escrocs sans vergogne.
