Many readers, though, highly praise the details of the setting. 3½ stars (  ) ParadisePorch | Mar 6, 2017 | I enjoyed reading this one, but I'm a bit stumped about how to describe it. Each chapter starts with someone's internal dialogue (in italics, so it's an easy flag that you're inside someone's head) and it's almost always a different character. The main character is Charlie, and she and her best friend Annie get the most page time, but they don't really investigate the murder and Miss Dimple's disappears so much as worry over it and gossip about it. There's a small romance too, but it's almost an afterthought and lacks any read tension; the story is no more or less than it would be without it. Ultimately there aren't any surprises; it's a low-key read that's easy going, neat and tidy. It's the reading equivalent of a digestive biscuit: pleasant, satisfying but not something you're going to run out to the market for at 11pm because you have to have it. I have one more of the Miss Dimple books on my TBR (I bought it for a buck at a book sale) and while I won't be rushing to read it, it likely won't languish as long in the TBR strata as this one did.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
It's 1942, 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.
