Book Overview
It's 1942, almost a year since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and the residents of the small town of Elderberry, Georgia, have been rattled down to their worn, rationed shoes. For young teacher Charlie Carr, life and love aren't going exactly as planned--her head dictates loyalty to the handsome corpsman, Hugh, but whenever she thinks of her best friend's beau, Will, her heart does the Jersey Bounce. Charlie is doubly troubled by the disappearance of beloved schoolmistress Miss Dimple Kilpatrick one frosty November morning just before Thanksgiving. Miss Dimple, who has taught the town's first graders--including Charlie--for almost forty years, would never just skip town in the middle of the school year, and Charlie and her best friend, Annie, are determined to prove it.

Charming Characters, Relaxing Read
Published by Patty S , 9 months ago
I love a good mystery with charming characters and this one was great! It takes place in a small town where everyone knows and watches out for one another (pros and cons with that!), so when one of their own is found dead and another goes missing, everyone is on a mission to solve the mystery during already troublesome wartime.
