Miss Dimple Kilpatrick

review 1: Miss Dimple and her friends are back to their detecting in the World War II town of Elderberry, GA. With almost all of the men gone, it's up to the school teachers to help out the county's sheriff. In this adventure, a new resident to the area, artist Mae Martha Hawthorne is murdered. Suspicion immediately falls on her Japanese caregiver, Suzy. Miss Dimple and her fellow teachers, Annie and Charlie, decide to clear Suzy's name. In doing so, they are almost dispatched to their eternal reward on a couple of different occasions. Author Ballard does a good job conveying the atmosphere of small-town America during all of the rationing, etc. that happened during World War II. This is a pleasant, quick-read that offers a fair amount of suspense as part of the pac... morekage.
review 2: I read this book purely for the cover - it reminded me of Nancy Drew,compelling me to pick it up. Set during WWII in a small town in Georgia. The third book in the series, I will go back and read the other two. Miss Dimple is an "older" school teacher (how much is anyone's guess, imthinking 40ish?), who ends up investigating the murder of Mae Martha. Mae Martha's companion is thought to have done the deed because she is of Japanese descent, but Miss Dimple and several other "younger" teachers don't believe it. I enjoyed this not for the mystery so much, but for the time period setting. And the cover art. ;) less
