Is the death of a lonely schoolteacher suicide or something more sinister?
“Recommended!”
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 Arrojo’s most prominent citizens accept her, provided she sticks with the business of fountain pens and letter paper and stays out of crime investigation.
But that’s just what she can’t do when Millie Gibb, the new teacher at the local girls’ school, is found dead, and everybody in town assumes the schoolteacher committed suicide. After all, what enemies could she have?
Adele and her clairvoyant friend Nin intend to find out. But can they prove Millie’s death was foul play based on a cigar stub, a letter fragment, and a cigarette lighter before the case is closed for good?
