description: 'Snappy style... will entertain readers.' - Library Journal It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas. For Queenie Bean, a young farmwife, the highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When just-married Rita Ritter arrives in town, Queenie eagerly welcomes her into the club. But Rita is far more interested in investigative journalism than she is in sewing, and before long her prying brings her dangerously close to a secret the Pickles have sworn to keep.
