Mrs. Meade and the Schoolboy Prank by Elisabeth Grace Foley
Description
When the Wellmans receive a letter from their son's boarding school informing them that Allen has been accused of stealing from a classmate, they promptly head for Denver to investigate. The situation looks bad, since almost the whole rest of the school have perfect alibis. It's fortunate that Mrs. Wellman thought to bring along her friend Mrs. Meade to see if she can spot the solution.
My Thoughts
I believe this is the third Mrs. Meade mystery I've read. The more I read these quick and smart tales, the more I like them.
Light and Entertaining
I do enjoy my share of longer and/or darker historical mysteries. But sometimes I just want a light and entertaining pick-me-up. And, given that even the cozy mystery genre is pretty dominated by murder cases, it's nice to find murderless mysteries like this to mix things up.
This series is worth taking a look at.
