I loved the period flavor of the story and the way in which Ann felt compelled to help, no small thing for a woman in those times. And there are subtle hints of the change in the times along with a good story. Excellent read.

This quick little murder mystery was a fun read. Enough clues to give you suspects, without reveling the identity of the murderer until the end. Set during the WWII era, people have their roles and beliefs of that time, where women were meant to "take care of their husbands." However, the women in this novelette think otherwise. It's complete within itself, but also has aspects of Ann's life that will continue as the story unfolds. A good book for when you want something quick to read, but still something to engage your mind.
