This 5th book of the series really has no mystery to it whatsoever, but it is still a charming cozy armchair trip to Botswana. Mma Ramotswe has been asked to look into 4 suitors of a middle-aged rich woman, to find out if they want to marry her only for her money. JLB Matekoni has been coerced by orphanage matron Mma Potokwane to do a parachute jump for charity, and he has also discovered that a rival garage has been cheating its customers with shoddy work. Mma Ramotswe is also starting to become restless as JLB has not yet set a date for their wedding and doesn't seem inclined to work on it. Mma Makutsi is now earning enough money to move to a better house. Life in Gaborone goes on at its leisurely pace, and is as delightful as ever.
