The 2 O'clock Doctor

The comically uptight Mma Makutsi is soon neatly chalking up three more cases for her kindly boss to solve: 'The Frightened shopkeeper, The 2 O'clock Doctor and The Possible Poisoner'. A lady approaches Mma Ramotswe to look into why her father is acting so scared all the time when he's normally a happy man. She's soon going undercover at the gentleman's shop and discovers something shocking that helps her to understand why he's acting strangely.

Meanwhile, a doctor asks for her help when he's blamed for a series of strange deaths at the local hospital. At 2pm every Friday a patient dies and no one can understand why. She decides she must come back on Friday afternoon to watch the ward and see what's happening.
But her attention switches when she's visited by a wealthy businessman with a serious family matter. His half-brother's wife has been accused of trying to poison the family, and he asks her to investigate.

To find out more, Mma Ramotswe goes to the house and posses as an assistant. There she discovers a family at war, with everyone having a motive for poisoning each other. The cook looks the obvious villain but she uses all her cunning to unearth what’s been going on.

Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi proves her worth when she's left in charge of the case of The 2 O'clock Doctor.
