Enjoyed this book because of the locations that I am familiar with.
Lot of characters but they fall into place. Good story of a community that helps one another and pays attention to habits of their friends.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Haila received a call from a Mary Connors asking to switch lesson times. Mary wanted to trade her Tuesday slot for Haida’s Monday slot. Mary had a date Monday evening and wanted to impress her date with her Spanish. She thought a refresher with her teach would do the trick. The excuse sounded good and Haila agreed.
Tuesday Haila found out there was no Mary Connors and the call was a ruse. She also found her teacher had been murdered in his classroom. Hailda also learns that the backgrounds of the teachers aren’t necessarily what is expected — many have some unusual histories. Mr. Randall, the school’s owner, hasn’t put all his cards on the table in regards to the school, either.
The clues are numerous and varied and the running them down isn’t easy for Haila and her husband, Jeff. Written in 1948, the location is New York City, the action steady and the dialogue between the Troys humorous and entertaining. Along the lines of the Mr. and Mrs. North series or the Thin Man series. It was a fun read in one sitting.
