Review: Death By Diploma by Kelley Kaye

by Elisa Hordon

As Emma Lovett discovers the perils of teaching high school in the fun cozy mystery Death by Diploma, she and best friend Leslie learn more than they ever wanted to know about the reasons people kill.

• Kelley Kaye was a new to me author and I loved Death By Diploma.
• This was a giggling good time.
• Right from the start I loved Emma, she is such a strong character.
• A witty, well written who done it.
• A quirky cast of characters that had me from the first page.
• A main character who I can't wait to read more from I really loved Emma.
• I loved all the twists and turn.
• I enjoyed the surprises.
• My absolute favourite thing about this story was all of the laugh out loud moments.
• A storyline to literally die for.
• I love stories about teachers and murder mysteries.
• Emma and Leslie are wonderfully delightful armature sleuths; they make crime solving fun.
• If you’re a Shakespeare lover like I am then you will enjoy the Shakespearian quotes bantered about in the story from Emma and Leslie
• What I didn't like was the way the author tried to write in a Southern accent for Emma's character, I found that dialogue hard to read, I prefer if an author just describes that the character has an accent because then I naturally hear it in my head when I'm reading.

Favourite quote from the book

'No. I don't believe in omens. That rabbit's foot in my purse is there only because petting soft things calms my nerves. Really.'
