Tannie Maria is wrestling with a fear of the dark, and her hen, Henrietta, has PTSD. But this doesn't stop this intrepid agony aunt from going undercover with her fiance, Detective Henk Kannemeyer, to the Karoo Wilderness Reserve. Their mission: to save the vetplantjies. At the KWR luxury game lodge, they spy on guests and support the Anti-Poaching Unit in a battle against dangerous criminals. Jessie attends the succulent symposium addressing international succulent poaching. Then, there is a murder ... Our favourite Ladismith sleuths - Maria, Henk, Jessie, Hattie, Reghardt and Piet - engage with a colourful cast of characters, including a barefoot artist, a botanist cowboy, a singing gardener, a shaman, and a sangoma. Between spying on tourists, solving murders, writing agony-aunt letters, eating divine food, and having epiphanies, Maria and Henk get fabulous fashion tips from a couturier and his Baroness. But soon they too will be in the crosshairs.
