Chapter One Mma Ramotswe had a detective agency in Africa. These were its assets: a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a telephone and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma Ramotswe-the only lady private detective in Botswana-brewed redbush tea. And three mugs-one for herself, one for her secretary and one for the client. What else does a real detective agency need?
Detective agencies rely on human intuition and intelligence, both of which Mma Ramotswe had in abundance. No inventory would ever include those, of course.
