My Review: Emma leaves her husband, crosses the country and starts her teaching career. Seems all crazy and fast right? Well when you read it, it's nothing like I thought. But that's in a good way.
Emma moves to Colorado, is a high school teacher and enjoys her career. She's making friends with the other teachers and handling the kids just fine. But one day Emma walks in to find the body of the custodian. But when the cops aren't doing all they could, Emma and a fellow teacher/friend will dig deep into this case.
Shakespeare quotes will be shared and let me tell, I'm not big fan. Yet somehow it fit and I found many parts funny. So you may think its odd, but this murder will give you some laughs, shocks, and all around great read.
This mystery isn't ordinary, its new, refreshing and worth the read!
