Book 87: The Persian Pickle Club

The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas. I've had this on my shelf since I first read it in 1998, but I didn't remember anything about it. It's somehow kind of lighthearted, even though it takes place in the dust bowl of the Great Depression, and there is a murder, and another death.

A bunch of women in a small town in Kansas belong to a quilting club ("persian pickle" means "paisley" -- they have a story about some paisley fabric). A new woman moves to town, joins the club, and begins working on solving a town mystery.

It's very readable, with an entertaining narrator.
