Is the death of a schoolteacher suicide or something more sinister?
Adele Gossling is adjusting well to small-town life after the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. Despite her progressive ideas about women and her unladylike business acumen, even Arrojoβs most prominent citizens are beginning to accept her. Provided she sticks with the business of fountain pens and letter paper and stays out of crime investigation, that isβ¦
But thatβs just what she canβt do when Millie Gibb, the new teacher at the local girlβs school, is found dead and everybody in town assumes the homely, unmarried spinster committed suicide. After all, what enemies could a harmless, middle-aged woman have?
Adele and her clairvoyant friend Nin intend to find out. But can they prove Millieβs death was foul play based on a cigar stub, a letter fragment, and a cigarette lighter before the case is closed for good?
Youβll love this turn-of-the-century whodunit where a sassy and smart New Woman gives the police a run for their money!
