A good mystery - well-written and satisfying!
This was really a great mystery - it’s amazing that Marjorie has the kind of connections with law enforcement that she can participate in murder investigations.  But, this is a small town, and she is one of its most revered citizens.  An indexer?  I didn’t know there were folks that have creating indexes for books as their sole pursuit - but somebody has to put them together, and now I know there are “indexers”!<br />One of the most interesting parts of this investigation was Marjorie’s trip to the Grafton School, better known as a home for the feeble-minded, defective, and insane.  Children shortly after birth are dropped off there when parents can’t cope - and this mystery involves the disappearance of one of the children.  The author did some research about places like this - revealing that women were sterilized until the practice was curtailed in 1964.  The whole thing is a bit unnerving to read about.<br /><br />I enjoyed this mystery - it took some twists that I didn’t suspect, and wrapped up very nicely, with Marjorie’s help.
