Synopsis (Goodreads):
No “learn to be a PI” video prepared her for this...

When Samantha True witnesses Wind River's most popular principal keel over dead she knows three things.

He's been murdered
Proving it will be impossible
They're gonna think she did it

As she works to clear her name, Samantha learns "Principal Josh" is the king of slime balls. Eliminating suspects proves tricky when half the town has a motive for murder.

It'll take the right private investigator to crack this killer's best laid plans.
Thoughts on Best Laid Plans: Okay. Samantha is...well, she's not exactly settling into the PI business like she was born to it or anything, but she's not doing too badly, either. She's dogged enough to not give up when things go south (and things do tend to go south for her at the worst possible moment) and she has a gift for gathering the right people around her at the right moment.

Which isn't to say things go smoothly. They, well, don't. I mean getting clipped by a car isn't anything to write home about. And then managing to turn the entire crew of PTA moms (not their actual name, but basically the purpose they serve) against her by happening to be present when their favorite principal up and dies makes things a little tough. And then there's the whole being railroaded into being the school photographer without pay and without really being asked. That one just makes me angry on Samantha's behalf on principle.

Anywho. Sam needs to use all her fledgling investigative skills to figure out what actually happened, because the police (Leo excluded) have their sights set on her as the main suspect. Until, you know, they start looking at other people who Samantha is SURE didn't do it.

Good thing the lady's determined because there's a whole lot happening here. I like.
