The Darling Dahlias and The Cucumber Tree, by Susan Wittig Albert

The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree (Darling Dahlias Mysteries) Really pretty badly done cosy mystery, set in Alabama during the Great Depression. Aside from the sickly sweetness of the whole thing, the improbable conversations about sex between the ladies of the Dahlia garden club and the uncomfortable portrayals of the African Americans left a horrible, sticky aftertaste.
Ick.
