review 1: No Substitute for Murder by Carolyn J. Rose kept me guessing and her humor kept me smiling.When a substitute teacher, Barbara, finds a dead body in one of the classrooms, and the dead man isn't one many will miss, the adventure begins. As a suspect she feels she must search for the killer before he or she comes after her. With a second murder and an attempt on her own life, things become pretty sticky.The cast in this story was entertaining and lovable. Even her ex-husband and screwy sister held my attention. Her dog? Cheese Puff? Loved him.There wasn't a thing I'd change in this story and I highly recommend it to brighten your day. Carolyn J. Rose writes a MOST entertaining story.
review 2: Carolyn J. Rose’s No Substitute for Murder” book was a joy to read... more. The writing was concise and stayed on point. This book was a quick read that kept me laughing throughout. This was embarrassing when I was laughing aloud while reading it on my Kindle while riding on my commuter bus going home in the evening. I got many quizzical stares.Barbara Reed is a substitute teacher who is recovering from a nasty divorce while trying to complete her master’s degree. While substituting, a murder happens at her school. The character I liked the most was Barbara’s dog, Cheese Puff. He is a hoot and is very much pampered by members in the community. I would love to have a dog like Cheese Puff. The one con I have is that the quizzes at the beginning and ending drove me crazy. Maybe this is because it reminded me being in school.If you like a funny cozy mystery, I highly recommend this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. less
