English food is all well and good in its place, but for expatriate amateur sleuth Dorothy Martin, there's nothing like a good Thanksgiving turkey with all the trimmings to make November seem complete. In the midst of the preparations, though, when Dorothy gets a call to help out for one day at the local school because Amanda Doyle just hasn't shown up, she does agree to help; she was, after all, a schoolteacher.
Things turn out very badly on Thanksgiving Day. As she awaits the arrival of her guests, Dorothy gets another call: could she look after Mrs. Doyle's 9-year-old daughter, Miriam? The child's father has been murdered, and the murmurings over the wishbone are not part of any celebration Dorothy would have planned.

" I enjoy this series. One of the better cozy mystery writings. "
" This was a good book and I like the main characters in this mystery. "
" So what if I consider British village cozies fantasy, I still want a puzzle with a bunch of red herrings. Guess the probably perpetrator way too early. Still, a nice, well-written read about never, never Britain. "
" American married to retired British chief constable solves murder - ok but hard to believe the accused is a good teacher as as described when personality is so repressed "
" Another lesser-known mystery series, this one about an American woman who retires in England where she starts a new life. In this one she champions a teacher accused of her husband's murder. "
" Easy read. Lots of twists and turns..Will read more of Jeanne Dams...I also liked that the character is an American living in England so I can relate since I am an American living in Iceland... "
" Much more suspenseful story than Penzance. "
" subbing can lead to murderers "
" I seldom finish a book I don't like, but this time I skimmed the last few chapters. I found it disorganized and with cardboard characters. "
" Being that Dorothy and I are close to the same age, I really enjoyed her as a detective. I thought the story as a whole was a little slow. "
