In the latest installment they are asked by Susan Peters, a woman who was born in Botswana to Canadian parents, to find her childhood home in Gaborone. She says she lived there until she was eight years old, but doesn't remember exactly where she lived. She has a photo taken with a woman who cared for her as a child and she wants to find her as well.
Precious senses unhappiness in her new client, but is not sure of the source. She sets out to find the childhood home of Susan, and discovers it is right next door to her home on Zebra Drive. As usual there are plenty of small stories playing out in this book. Mma Potokwane is thinking of hiring a new house mother who is distantly related to her. Mr. Polopetsi somehow gets himself involved in a pyramid scheme and Fanwell finds a stray dog. Grace's archenemy Violet Sephotho has been nominated as a candidate for the Gaborone Chamber of Commerce's Woman of the Year.
Using her loving heart and her detective instincts gleaned from Clovis Andersen's The Principles of Private Detection, Precious, with Grace's assistance, solves all the mysteries.
