A Teacher in the Dumps Monique Bird

Claire Anderson's life is in the dumps-her romance with a handsome, fellow teacher is stalled, and her fluffy kitten keeps biting her. She loves teaching 7th grade science, but she can't shake the feeling that something is missing. So when a body is found in the dumpster of the Fairview Diner, Claire is secretly excited. Claire is even more thrilled when her friend asks her to investigate. The victim had plenty of enemies, which means plenty of adventure for Claire. Too bad one of the suspects is her friend's husband and another is a student's older sister. That's the problem with murder in a small town; all of the suspects are people you know.
