Miss Dimple Suspects by Mignon F. Ballard

4.0

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. ;)
