This book was categorized as YA, but don't let that turn you off if you are no longer a 'Young' reader. A very short story, not sure when a short story turns into a novella, but this is a quick and very interesting read. A man is dead, the wife is the only suspect. Two 'neighbor' ladies are there during the very basic investigation. An interesting story, well told. Today so many books are 400 or more pages, and don't need to be, this book is proof of that. This book might have been published under the title Trifles as well. Not sure how that works. A good read!
