It's almost Christmastime in Cape Bay, and another murder has everyone in the town talking. A despised new drama teacher at the local high school is killed in the school's parking lot. The police arrest a beloved teacher, Mrs. Crowsdale, but everyone else thinks she is too nice to murder anyone. Mike, however, says they have solid evidence that proves she did it. Sammy is particularly devastated. Mrs. Crowsdale was her favorite teacher and still her hero. Sammy begs Fran to find the real culprit. Fran isn't so sure. Mike would be angry with her for butting in on another case. And what if more danger befalls her? After all, there are some pretty dangerous people in town ...

Continuing to enjoy this series, even if this one wasn't my favorite. I wanted to shake both Fran and Mike. I kept thinking that maybe Mike was purposefully acting like a jerk to help the investigation. I get that Fran sticking her nose in everything is annoying (believe me), but being angry and constantly yelling instead of actually investigating was stupid. I still think Mike faking his anger to help catch the killer would have been a better story element. Either that or give the reader some details for why he's not doing his job.
Still like the series as a whole, so I'll pick up the next book in the future.
