For
fans of cozy contemporary mysteries, A Murder of Principle is
the book for you. Caution: once you pick it up, you'll be hard
pressed to put it down.
After
Principal Wendy Storme dies, few at Harding High--students, faculty,
staff and parents-- lament her loss. As told in cleverly plotted
flashback by author Susan Coryell, the story shows the evolution of
Principal Storme's escalating reign of terror. By the time the witch
finally breathes her last, it almost comes as a relief. Naturally the
list of suspects ranges from the above-mentioned students and abused
faculty members and staff to parents and a few fellow administrators.
Without
giving anything away, many had reason to kill Wendy Storme. A
Murder of Principle shows the secrets and machinations which are
apparently common to any school system. It was great fun to discover
a different side of an educational system.
Out
of 5 stars, A Murder of Principle earns a 6.
