Now You’re in My Arms

Whistle Stop Cafe Mysteries #21

by Leslie Gould

Now You’re in My Arms is book twenty-one in the Whistle Stop Café Mysteries fiction series.

Debbie Albright is excited to spend Valentine’s Day with the man she loves, Greg Connor. She is not prepared for another mystery when she and Greg go through a box of his grandmother’s belongings. At the bottom is an oddly stitched scarf and a ball of yarn with an antique diamond ring hidden in the center. Greg and his mother do not recognize the ring, and they cannot imagine how Vivian, a farmer’s wife, could have obtained something so valuable. When Greg’s relatives hear about the discovery, a battle begins over who should inherit it.

As Debbie struggles to solve the mystery of the ring, she is also working with her best friend, Janet Shaw, to plan the Second Annual Valentine’s Day Swing Dance that will take place in the Dennison Depot lobby, complete with World War II-era music. As they all gear up for the big night, Greg is less calm and easygoing than usual. Is it stress from the discord in his family—or is Greg having second thoughts about his relationship with Debbie?

Excellent. The WWII information intertwined within the story added so much to the overall story.
