Hey! Here's my review.
A fun cozy mystery set in a school.
I work in a school, so I was intrigued to read a book dealing with the dynamics between teaching staff. I'm glad my school isn't quite like this one.
I was glad to see the author explained why they didn't leave all the investigation to the Police, considering there was a murder. I don't think I would have gotten as involved as they did, but I enjoyed peeking over their shoulders to see it all play out.
I loved the friendship between Emma and Leslie. I related most to Emma and Leslie kept me entertained with her relevant Shakespeare quotes.
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
★★★★
