Tea Time for the Traditionally Built (eBook): The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series, Book 10

Synopsis

Mma Ramotswe is widely known for many things; for example, everybody knows about her kindness and her taste for redbush tea and cake -- she is after all traditionally built. Everybody is familiar, too, with her tiny white van, which is beginning to feel its age. Are its difficulties to be terminal, or will Charlie, the feckless garage apprentice, be able to save the day? Mma Makutsi certainly thinks the van's days are numbered, but she can do little to help, as she is experiencing a crisis in her engagement to Phuti Radiphuti. A scheming woman - the pernicious Violet Sephotho - has obtained a job at Phuti's store, clearly intending to prise him away from Mma Makutsi. And Charlie has to deal with a young lady with a baby who she claims is his responsibility.

Is all this enough to unsettle Mma Ramotswe? Certainly not! Calm reflection, and frequent cups of tea, will be enough to solve even the most trying of problems . . .
