La llegada de la primavera ya se percibe en el rojo de la tierra, en las acacias y en las aguas de los rios de Botsuana, aunque en Zebra Drive, donde viven Mma Ramotswe y su querido esposo J.L.B. Matekoni, no se respira la tranquilidad habitual. En La Primera Agencia de Mujeres Detectives el ritmo de trabajo es el acostumbrado --con casos tan dispares como el de los constantes robos de la galeria de arte Teenie Magama's y las sospechosas muertes del hospital Mochudi--, aunque se percibe cierto descontento entre las trabajadoras. Ya es malo que Charlie, el aprendiz de Mr. Matekoni, este fuera en otra aventura y que la inminente boda de Mma Makutsi este amenazando sus gratas relaciones laborales con Mma Ramotswe. Y cuando J.L.B. Matekoni, tratando de demostrarse a si mismo que es un marido esforzado, decide hacer un trabajillo detectivesco, se avecina el desastre...
