Last year, Caseman High School was rocked by a scandal when a beloved math teacher retired after accusations he had an affair with a student. Even though Addie denied the rumors, she is now a pariah among her classmates. Meanwhile, Eve and Nate both teach at Caseman High and their marriage is already not going well so to have Addie assigned to both of their classes might just push them past the breaking point.

Frieda McFadden puts her trademark feel on yet another twisted psychological thriller where you aren't sure you like any of the characters. The soap opera-level drama of McFadden's novels are hard to look away from, especially as the twists get darker and darker. Although the writing is far from elegant, The Teacher is a quick and mindlessly fun read.
