Another enjoyable day spent with Precious Ramotswe! This time she has a problem - her beloved little white van is dying, and she cannot tell her mechanic husband, because she is sure he will condemn it to the scrap-heap. Grace Makutsi has a problem too - her nemesis, Violet Sephotho, has taken a job at her fiance's furniture shop, and Grace is sure Violet intends to seduce Phuti away from her. And the new case they are investigating involves a soccer team that is losing for unknown reasons, and the two women are going to have to learn about football in order to solve it. Life goes on in Botswana, and each new book in the series is a pleasant interlude spent with familiar characters that have become dear to Smith's readers.
