The Misadventures of a ''Modern Day'' Gibson Girl

In the 1930’s every rural village in the U.S. had its own ‘fixit’ man. And contrary to, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” he could fix anything and was a master of improvisation.

Also being in and out of the back door of every house in the district he knew more about his neighbors than most anyone.

At the same time period women were getting into law enforcement.

Take one of each and between them chasing each other through the mysteries of courtship add a mystery and you have the story.

While rarely agreeing on most things the disappearance of the town banker and of the cast iron, merry-go-round pony from in front of the only antique store in town seemed as suspicious as minnows in the milk.

After stumbling into the vagaries of a number of the town’s citizens they emerge well courted and could agree on the marriage and the murderer.
