Preliminary Comments:
I always finish John Locke’s books the same day I start them. He has a way of sucking you in. This novel was no different.
If you liked “Promise You Won’t Tell,” you’ll love “Teacher, Teacher.”
In another author’s hands, the seriousness of the subject would result in a dramatic, heavy-handed morality piece drenched in political correctness. But John seems to have mastered the art of tackling serious, topical subjects with laugh-out-loud humor, in-your-face energy, and razor-sharp dialogue.
