War is coming (it's 1917) and many women want to do more than what is expected of them (you know, 'womanly' things) and have banded together for some military type training. Naturally, the Kopp sisters are involved. There is also a most interesting young woman, using a false name and background. Why? Kopp Sisters on the March, by Amy Stewart is a great historical mystery about a little known event.

Easter is coming and the planning for the annual egg hunt is well under way. As the route through the woods is being marked a dog digs up a bone, a human bone, and these plans are stalled. The body has been buried for a while so clothing, shoes and a faded ID card are used for identification. Seems things are progressing nicely until the ME gives the height of the corpse as 5'10" or so while the ID showed him being someone over six feet tall. The plot, as is said, thickens! Lord James Harrington and the Easter Mystery, by Lynn Florkiewicz was one of the best of this series.
