High school teacher Emma Lovett is finally recovering from her first year of teaching when she discovers another dead body. As if that wasn’t bad enough, this time, someone has killed a student, Kisten Hollis.
Emma and her best friend, Leslie, are desperate to solve this murder. But suspects abound. The perpetrator could be a teacher, an administrator, a member of Kisten’s zealous church community, or even another student.
Emma must juggle her teaching responsibilities, her new romance with handsome Hunter Wells, and interest from a hunky second suitor, all while searching for evidence to bring a killer to justice before someone else dies.
About the Author
“Kelley Kaye” taught High School English and Drama since 1992 in California, then Colorado and now Cali again, but her love for storytelling dates back to creating captions in her high school yearbook. Maybe back to the tales she created for her Barbie and Ken—whatever the case, the love’s been around a long time. She’s married to an amazing man who cooks for her, and they have two funny and wonderful sons.

As a former teacher, I’m intrigued by the classroom/teacher setting of this mystery. It sounds as if I’d love the book!
Haha Leslie and Emma definitely use their planning periods for detecting more than planning, but otherwise the book’s are reflective of my teaching experience…I hope you like it! Kelley
Thank you Suzanne! I hope you do… Emma and Leslie spend too much of their planning hours trying to detect, but otherwise it’s based on real school experience.:-) Kelley
My daughter will experience her first year of teaching starting this August.
I doubt she will have to deal with murders, but high school students can be “murder” in themselves!
That’s for sure! Wish her luck from me. Kelley
Elizabeth–wish your daughter the best good vibes from me! It’s a great experience. Kelley
My daughter and son in law are very dedicated teachers…she and I are both cozy fiction crazy!
