The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party by Alexander McCall Smith

 This book is like new but with some very, very light yellowing and a tiny ding on the cover.  Not enough to care about, really. It's actually quite clean and easy to read, no drama.

Join Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s beloved No. 1 Lady Detective, in the twelfth installment of the enchanting No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. In "The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party," Mma Ramotswe faces two perplexing cases: the mysterious death of two cows at a remote cattle post and the eerie reappearance of her cherished old white van, which was long thought to be scrapped. Meanwhile, Grace Makutsi, Mma Ramotswe's loyal associate, is preoccupied with planning her wedding to Phuti Radiphuti, but struggles to find the perfect pair of wedding shoes.

As Mma Ramotswe navigates these challenges with her characteristic wisdom and humor, she also deals with the antics of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s runaway apprentice and the ambitious political aspirations of Violet Sephotho. This delightful tale weaves together mystery, romance, and the rich cultural tapestry of Botswana, promising readers a heartwarming and engaging experience.

Alexander McCall Smith's "The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party" is a testament to the enduring appeal of Mma Ramotswe and her unique approach to solving life’s puzzles, big and small.
