Professor Jenna Blake is back. She survived a school shooting. She survived her husband’s suicide. With the help of supportive parents, a therapy dog, and Oreos, she’s regained her grip on life. Or has she? On her first day back from an extended sabbatical, she finds a cryptic note on her desk requesting a meeting.
When the anonymous note writer is a no-show and later turns up dead, it ignites a volatile chain of events. If she can’t explain why her scarf, address, and DNA are found on the dead stranger, she’ll lose her job and be thrown in jail. When Jenna discovers a second victim murdered in the woods and one of her students goes missing, she rises to the top of the suspect list. Enlisting the help of a hot private investigator, her humorous teaching assistant, and the original victim’s fiancé, she fights to uncover the twisted truth.

Jenna Blake has been through more than one person should have to handle in her lifetime. Coming back to teaching after a time away to heal from the trauma of the school shooting and her husband’s death, she finds more challenges and situations that test her ability to cope. Will her recovery continue while being a suspect in a murder?
Author Diane Weiner never disappoints. Though not a traditional cozy mystery, Goodnight Murder leads us on a path of subterfuge leaving us guessing and turning the pages while we walk step by step with Jenna to solve the mystery and clear her name.
The characters are believable, and the plot is excellent. It is well written and easy to read. I hope we see more of Jenna in the future.
Diane Weiner, award-winning author of The Susan Wiles Schoolhouse Mysteries, The Sugarbury Falls Mysteries, and The Sara Baron Tuned-in Mysteries, is a veteran public school teacher and mother of four grown children. Being an animal lover, she is a vegetarian and shares her home with three precious cats—Louie, Lila, and Emmy. In her free time, she enjoys running, shopping, attending theater productions, watching British mysteries, and spending time with her family. A favorite way to destress involves turning down the lights, cranking down the air-conditioning (she lives in Florida), and getting lost in the scenery and mystery of shows set in Wales, Scotland, England, or anywhere with lots of snow and ice.To learn more about the author, visit her website http://www.dianeweinerauthor.com, or follow her on Facebook (dianeweinerauthor), Amazon, Goodreads, and Bookbub.
