    About this audiobook

    It's the summer of 1944 and the world seems mired in a war that will never end. On the home front, the people of Elderberry, Georgia, are doing everything they can to support the troops.

    Even with a war on, the peaches are ripe for picking. As veteran teacher Miss Dimple Kilpatrick and her colleagues work in the orchard, they hear frantic calls for help: An eighteen-year-old girl, Prentice, has been missing—and is later found murdered.

      The little town of Elderberry, Georgia, is struggling through the Second World War in 1944. Many of the men are gone and the women are left behind to pick up the pieces and do much of the work that men would normally have done. While first-grade teacher Miss Dimple Kilpatrick and some friends are picking peaches, an ambitious and beautiful 18-year-old girl named Prentice is murdered nearby. When police decide the top suspect is Clay Jarrett, Prentice’s recent ex-boyfriend, Miss Dimple and her friends decide they must act to clear him.Miss Dimple Picks a Peck of Trouble is sub-standard cozy fare … with lots of characters but little character development and so-so writing. I never did get a good picture of the female characters … either their physical looks or their psyches … and that made it a chore to keep them all straight as I was reading.Although it made for a pleasant-enough read, I felt that it was pretty mediocre when compared to other cozy series set in about the same era.
