Mma Ramotswe is back on the case. This time she has been hired to help a woman in finding out where she stands with her various beaus. Mma Ramotswe is not sure she understands why a woman would want to have four boyfriends, but she is more than willing to help. The goal is to find out whether the men truly care for her or if they are only dating her because of her wealth.

Her fiance, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni is also busy. After helping her out with some work on her van, it comes to his attention that another mechanic in town is doing substandard work. Beside being a betrayal of peoples' trust, doing so may also endanger the drivers and their passengers. He takes it upon himself to try and show the other mechanic the light.

He also finds himself in trouble when the local orphanage is looking to raise some money. Mma Potokwani, the woman who runs the orphanage, where he met his two foster children, is able to talk him into a skydiving event to raise money. Mma Ramotswe is not sure that the is thrilled with the possibility, but she has nothing to fear as Mma Makutsi gets involved. With the help of Charlie, one of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's apprentices, she will find a solution that will not leave him with shame and allow the orphange to still get its money.

It is always a pleasure to visit with these characters and see where the story is going to take them, and the readers along with them. The book ends with quite a surprise, and it is one that will leave you happy. This is a nice addition to the series.
