SINS OUT OF SCHOOL

In the seventh installment in Jeanne M. Dams's cozy Dorothy Martin mystery series, Kate Reading gives Dorothy just the right touch of acerbity in her voice. Dorothy, a 70-something retired American school teacher living in an English village with her husband, a retired constable, is thrust into the middle of a murder mystery involving a 9-year-old suspect, a teacher curiously out of step with modern life, and a strange fundamentalist religious cult.
