Precious Ramotswe and the No. 1 ladies' detective agency strikes again, we see how Mma Ramotswe is getting on and some of her new cases which just go to prove the old addage that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, poor Mr J.L.B Matekosi is in a tizzy because the tyrant...I mean the lovely (if domineering) lady who runs the orphan farm has roped him in to doing a parachute jump so the poor fellow is having nightmares about that and some confrontational issues with bad mechanics!...
