Book No. 7 in the marvellous Mma Ramotswe series

The one with the witch who flew away

Mma Ramotswe is happily married to Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, but her work seems more hectic than ever. Among a raft of cases coming the way of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency are blackmail, witchcraft, strange goings-on at a health clinic, and theft at a government catering college. There seems no end to the disputes which call for the wisdom of a traditionally built detective. It's enough to make her wonder what the secret of happiness is, and whether she is right to find it in small things such as a pair of blue shoes, a slice of cake, or a red sunset over the Kalahari.
