Class of ’79 by Holly L. Dutton
There are few places more dangerous than a high school parking lot ten minutes before the bell rings. But at Mountain Vista High School, the danger doesn’t end with fender benders in the student lot.
When Kari starts her first year of teaching, she expects a steep learning curve, maybe a few difficult students. She does not expect to be starting her new career in a crime scene. But the murder of the school’s winning football coach the first week of school is just the beginning.
Kari’s classroom is broken into, her overzealous journalism students are on the trail of the murderer, the vice principal hates her and one of her co-workers just may be the guilty party. Unless it’s one of the students.
As Kari gets to know her fellow teachers, she starts to have a few ideas about who might be responsible for the school’s crime spree. But she’s not the only one with crime solving instincts. The home economics teacher, source of school lore, random gossip, and fabulous baked goods, Grace Billingsly, has other ideas. She thinks it’s Kari. Now Kari has to solve the crime to prove her innocence.
Set against the end of an era, Class of 79, is rollicking trip to the past, complete with rock and roll music, muscle cars and murder.
