    About this audiobook

    With the country in the midst of World War II, you can be sure the small town of Elderberry, Georgia, will pull together to find a missing child. Miss Dimple carves out a search path all her own and once again, the sharp-as-a-tack teacher is right on point. But she finds Peggy too sick to walk and it's too dark to find her way back. Luckily, she comes upon an elderly artist, Mae Martha, and her young companion, Suzy. A few days later, however, Miss Dimple receives a frantic call from Suzy: Mae Martha has been murdered and Suzy is the most likely suspect. Miss Dimple and her fellow teachers set out to prove Suzy's innocence, only to discover danger where they least expect it.

      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 package.

      I liked that the main character was a teacher, but she was characterized as the stereotypical old "school marm" She was the unmarried "know-it-all" that the whole town turned to in order to have their problems solved. She was supposed to be the worldly character who taught the town not to show racism toward Japanese-Americans in WWII, but at one point she tried to explain why the containment camps were set up on the Pacific Coast. It was a decent mystery though and I'll try another in the series.
