A dead preschool teacher and the only witnesses are her four year old students. 

This book is weird. I took a chance on this one for sure. Some of the students reportedly had Renfield Syndrome. Read it and find out what that means  The mothers in this book were annoying. They reminded of how I imagine the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or New Jersey. 

In my opinion, initially the mothers were more concerned with appearances and gossip instead of what was going on with their children. I didn’t enjoy the woe is me and I’m a mother on top of it narrative. I understand that motherhood is a thankless job but these women were awful. 

I didn’t enjoy the ending but I will say it was interesting to read about these preschoolers. The only reason this book wasn’t trashed is because January Lavoy was the narrator.
