Book 18 (2012) Alone in the Classroom** by Elizabeth Hay

I loved Hay's Late Nights on Air (one of my top 5 Canadian novels), but I can hardly remember what this is about.   It's about a school teacher in a one room prairie school, and a girl is murdered.

I heard her read at the Vancouver Institute this winter and she was marvellous.   The mind was fed and glowing for a week.   She was a broadcaster and has the power of voice as well as word.
