eorI finished "Dear Miss Demeanor" on Sunday. It was what I've come to expect from Hess, a mystery plot sprinkled with a thin layer of characters. This one moved along pretty well.
Hess' portrayal of Substitute teaching seems a bit thin. I mean, I've had plenty of substitute teachers. If you don't direct kids they'll serve you up on a spit and roast you alive by the end of the first period. To give them free reign for several days running would cause chaos which would make anarchists wish for the good old days of fascism. I'll prepared I've seen, but it is in the best interest of the rest of the staff to make sure no one drowns.
Not a bad day at the beach, but not one you need to keep on the bookshelf you can reach quickly.
