Gas and food rationing, spies, Nazis, Glenn Miller...a look back to a bygone era in Elderberry, Georgia during WWII. Who would want kill the school custodian or kidnap an elementary school teacher and why ? I am looking forward to see how the relationships develop among the likable cast of characters in the first in the "Miss Dimple" series. I am eagerly waiting for the next one..

I chose to read this book because of the title. I loved the name Miss Dimple! It was a little slow at first, but then I really got into it and enjoyed it tremendously. The characters were engaging and the plot had some twists and turns. It takes place in a small town in Georgia during WWII in the year 1942. One of the main characters, Charlie Carr, is a teacher like Miss Dimple, and has a brother in the war, possibly in North Africa. She has a beau that leaves for Navy medic training. She's not sure if she loves him or not. And then Miss Dimple disappears and no one can figure out what happened to her! Miss Dimple turns out to be one formidable woman! I like reading fiction set in WWII. It has always interested me, probably because my Dad and 3 Uncles and numerous cousins were in the war. I wasn't even born yet. I enjoyed all the expressions relevant to that era and learning about the rationing. It was a fun read.

I was very pleased when I read the first installment of the "Miss Dimple" series....who wanted to kidnap the popular teacher and why? The book introduces a cast of likable characters that reside in Elderberry, Georgia during WWII......food and gas rationing, spies, Nazis, Glenn Miller, all woven in to remind us all of a bygone era..... I am looking forward to "Miss Dimple Rallies to the Cause".
