The Good Teacher
A sensible small town.
An accident and a secret.
They say a good teacher is hard to find ...
Stony Creek is a quiet farming community where good manners, good will and fairness must be upheld at all costs. No one embodies these values more than married P&C president, Jennifer Booth. Though her only child is long graduated from Stony Creek Primary School (one teacher plus casuals), Jennifer prides herself on leading by example. But when she has passionate, unexpected sex with the new principal, Brock Kelly, just before a P&C meeting, on his office desk, no one is more surprised than she. And when an accident at the school looks like sabotage, then they’ve really got trouble on their hands.
Fellow committee member Sarah Howard, gifted with a highly developed intuition, takes one look at the guilty parties and knows her children’s futures are in jeopardy. Everyone always says that a child’s education should not be compromised and nothing about this scandal will end well for the school, the teacher or the community. Does disaster loom for Stony Creek?

“She knew now, better than anyone, that even her boring, stolid, seemingly unchanging community could be torn apart by carelessness or passion or a combination of both.”
The Good Teacher is the first novel by Australian farmer, truck driver and author, R. M. Anderson. When Sarah Howard turns up for the Ordinary Meeting of the P&C Association of the Stony Creek Primary School, she knows something’s been going on between their straight-laced (married!) President, Jennifer Booth, and the new Principal, Brock Kelly. She can just feel it, and it’s making her sick. The education of Stony Creek’s children, including her own, is important to her, and Brock is a good teacher, probably the best teacher they’ve ever had, but this could ruin everything.
It’s a dramatic start to a small-town novel, but R. M. Anderson isn’t going to give his readers a moment to relax, because he launches straight into some more adultery and a fire, and then the inevitable aftermath. It’s all very cleverly done with multiple narrators whose perspective of events gives the reader an excellent overview of the whole situation. With each new piece of information, another wrinkle is added to the tale, and the tension ramps up a little, until the characters gather for an expertly crafted and blackly funny climax.
There’s quite a bit of sex, but it is not explicit; there are some expletives, but the text is not peppered with them; and there is a good dose of some seriously wicked humour. The characters are a joy: none is a stereotypical cardboard cut-out, and each one develops as the novel progresses. There are certainly no saints here, but despite their flaws (or perhaps because of them), most of the characters are appealing. The two whose focus is exclusively self-oriented, whose minds seem to be genitally located much of the time, are probably the exception. Mack is likely to be a stand-out favourite.
In Stony Creek, Anderson easily captures the small rural town and the attitudes of those who live there. He also manages to touch on some topical issues: the workload of the small farmer, online relationships, ageing and independence, and the challenges of keeping lessons for pupils in a one-teacher/one-classroom school both relevant and interesting. This is a brilliant debut novel, and readers who enjoy it will be pleased to know that this talented author has more books in the pipeline, including another set in Stony Creek. Recommended.

three and a half stars
Stony Creek, a small village in a farming community, has a small primary school of fifteen children one teacher and a few casuals. Into this comes the new principal, Brock Kelly. His presence in this small community sets off a chain of reactions, as he and Jennifer Booth, president of the P & C begin an affair. Though she didn’t actually see anything, fellow committee member Sarah Howard has her suspicions about what happened just before the P & C meeting began. Unbeknown to Sarah, she has her own problems to deal with in her marriage. But Sarah’s main concern is the education of her children and it appears the new principal is a very good teacher who engages the children. But will his affair with Jennifer and then an accident that occurs at the school, see him packing his bags again?
Stony Creek the reader is told, is a ‘tiny village of four streets and thirty houses.’ How anyone could ever hope to get away with an affair undetected in such a small community was beyond me. And yet later in the book another person contemplating his own amorous inclinations thinks to himself about ‘how unlucky would he have to be to be caught again?’ Really! Naïve or just blinded by lust? However, if you can accept the goings on of people in this small village, this is a cleverly told story from a number of points of view. My favourite character was Mack, although Sarah has her strong moments. I thought Madison, Jennifer and Andy’s daughter, showed more maturity later in the book than some other characters in this novel. Despite there being a number of selfish characters who put their own desires above those of anyone else, I found this an entertaining read. Setting doesn’t really play that large a part. The story centres on the characters and their interactions. Some aspects of the ending I really loved.

I enjoyed the simple nature in which this book is written. It reflects an understanding of the country way of life however the ending is rather fast considering the rest of the story being so drawn out. Quite a few grammatical errors in the text but an easy and enjoyable read.

My thoughts…
It’s impossible to put some books down, especially those so full of characters who have moral compasses so utterly out of whack. I was totally hooked by The Good Teacher and was gob smacked at how deceitful the people in this town could be.
The Good Teacher is not a big book and don't expect me to mention the amazing descriptions of the town or the landscape because if there was any such detail I was too sucked into the characters' lives to notice. I saw nothing other than what the narrator wanted me to see and I read well into the night because I could NOT put this story down.
A great read. Lots of lessons to learn from The Good Teacher!!

This book had me from the blurb on the front cover 'A wickedly amusing tale of lust, lies and revenge' and this description was very apt.
Brock Kelly applies for the position of principle at Stony Creek primary school after a failed relationship. Unexpectedly he wins the position (there was only one other candidate) and he finds he's great at his job and loves it. But complications set in when he starts having an affair with Jennifer who is head of the P&C and at their first tryst, the one building school is accidentally burnt down.
I found 'The Good Teacher' a surprisingly fun and easy read. I took it to be a 'tongue in cheek' look at life in a small community and there is a lot more going on in this town of four streets and thirty houses that people know about. It really is centred around two families in the town and I feel that half the fun is for the reader to delve in and discover what the characters are getting up to behind each others backs. Lets just say that self righteous Jennifer finds out that her little interludes with Brock have been discovered and suddenly Brock finds that more then his job is being threatened.
I enjoyed all the characters, especially Madison who is Jennifer's daughter, I loved her relationship with her grandfather Mack and how she grew in the novel.
I presume this is the author's first novel and I was also interested to read that he is a second generation beef cattle farmer from Northern NSW, I don't read a lot of male authors except for the thriller genre, so this was a refreshing experience.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy to read and review.

Thank you Beauty and Lace and Harlequin for gifting me this book to read.
The Good Teacher is set in the small town of Stony Creek, a small quiet farming community.
Like in many country areas the schools are small and some like Stony Creek only have one building and one teacher/principal.
One day just before the P & C meeting the president of the P & C has passionate, unexpected sex with the new principal on his desk.
What happens next is a fun tale of love, lust, friendships, families, rights and wrongs.
There is no main character to this story. I would say there is one family comprising of Jennifer, Andy, Madison and Mack that could be seen as the main characters and they have lots of interesting events in their lives to share.
Mack the grandpa that sits on his verandah of his cottage and knows everything that goes on in the town. He’s a grandpa that listens and offers support and guidance when he can. An all round nice guy to love and adore. He is my favourite character who doesn’t love a grandpa in a story
The others in the town and around all have a role to play in this story and it is interesting and fun to see how their lives all cross over and merge into each other.
Each characters has a part and the story goes from one side of the story to the other very cleverly done considering how many parts there are and even though there are many parts it does not get confusing at any time. Each part is clearly and easy understood. It’s like little stories all coming together to make one filled story.
The Good Teacher is a fun read that shows that in a small town many things could be happening at any moment and that you just might not be aware of them all.

On the front cover of the book the tag line is ‘A wickedly amusing tale of lust, lies and revenge.’ This was 100% accurate description for the whole book. It kept my attention from beginning to end, I didn’t want to put it down and when I did I couldn’t get the characters or their actions out of my head. Having grown up in a small country town I could really relate to the Stony Creek community. Although, some of the characters I found hard to relate to, Jennifer especially. The story is told through multiple points of view, which showed the characters motivations. My favourite characters were Grandpa Mack and Madison, they were interesting perspectives to read from. I really loved the close bond they shared. The character development for Madison, Sarah and Brock was amazing to read. The writing made me feel like I was actually living alongside all the characters in Stony Creek. I never thought I would find a book with some really deceitful characters addictive, but I honestly couldn’t put it down. I just had to know what was going to happen in the end.
Overall, The Good Teacher was a fun, addictive read. I would recommend it to anyone who loves drama, small towns, and romance.
Thank you to Harlequin Australia and Social SoupHQ for sending me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to enjoy this more than I did. The story itself was a good one, but the writing style just didn't engage me, I didn't really care about any of the characters. it felt quite bland in its telling. I kept reading to see what would happen, but admit to skipping the last 60 pages to read the last couple of chapters to see how it all wrapped up. others have really enjoyed it, so I'd recommend giving it a go.

This is my first 5 star rating since joining the B&L Bookclub. I adored this book! Such an easy read, yet also a very realistic depiction of small town living. I found the characters believable and thoroughly entertaining. I found this book so engaging, whilst also having a solid dose of humour. I look forward to discovering what other books this author has written and I'd love a sequel to see where the characters in The Good Teacher go next.
I'd highly recommend this book to anyone wanting some holiday or weekend reading. It was a difficult book to put down at times and I would have happily read into the early hours in my pre-children days. Many thanks to Beauty and Lace and Harlequin Books for the opportunity to read The Good Teacher!

Witty, acerbic, page-turning romp through small-town rural Australia, seen at its scone-baking, roo-spotting, dag-plucking best. Anderson is a master of understatement. His writing is taut, witty and observant, everything Liane Moriarty would love to be...but isn't. I have lived in rural Australia, specifically rural New South Wales and I recognised the people described in Anderson's clever debut novel, the small-minded, the generous-spirited, the nepotistic community biased, the endearing fixtures like Mack, even the Machiavellian schemers Jennifer and her arrogant husband, Andy. Anderson brilliantly captures the best and the worst of small-town Australia and packaged it in a raunchy love story that had me cheering for the wronged blow-in teacher, Brock. Rather than wasting time with another poorly-written Moriarty tome, Reese Witherspoon would do well to adapt Anderson's lively book. The dialogue is already sparkling off the page and the characters are fleshed out. It would make a fabulous Netflix mini-series.

What can I say about The Good Teacher but WOW....this is one of the better novels I have read this year and sooooo close to the truth of small communities and their schools it was realistically scary.
As we enter the community of Stony Creek and learn more about it's inhabitants I felt that I was looking at the lives of many small communities throughout Australia as myself and my children all attended small schools and lived in small communities.
Brock Kelly, the new principal and godsend to the community of Stony Creek primary arrives from the 'big smoke' wondering what exactly he has let himself in for. Jennifer, the P&C president and married to Andy with a daughter Madison, makes Brock welcome - extremely welcome - when there is an attraction that they both cannot fight. Unfortunately for both Brock and Jennifer the illicit affair threatens to demolish the town when Jennifer's post coital cigarette burns down the school. Jennifer goes into damage control and makes Brock take the blame thus leading to a downward spiral for the both of them.
Sarah, Jennifer's friend and neighbour knows immediately upon setting eyes on both Jennifer and Brock at the P&C meeting exactly what has occurred. Sarah flees the meeting to try and deal with her feelings only to get home early and find her husband Ian, in bed with their babysitter Madison - Jennifer's daughter. Sarah takes her children and leaves Stony Creek to stay with her sister in the city until she can decide what to do, not knowing that the school has burnt to the ground.
Sarah after much soul searching returns to Stony Creek and her husband begrudgingly so that her young children can see their father BUT she soon learns that Jennifer has placed the blame on Brock and that Brock will be leaving Stony Creek as Jennifer has absolutely no qualms in placing the blame everywhere except where it lies. Jennifer does not want to loose the power that she holds in Stony Creek and she will use every means at her disposal to get what she wants.
Thank you Beauty and Lace for providing me with an unstoppable read. I will be watching out for the next book by R.M Anderson.

December 30, 2018For a small country community and where everyone knows where and what everyone else is doing and seeing etc this is such a great fast paced page turner, which had me from page one.
We have Brock Kelly the newly employed principle of Stony Creek Primary School,
Jennifer who is head of the P&C, Madison who is Jennifer's daughter and no longer at primary school and then her grandfather Mack with whom she has a great affinity with.
Within the novel there is a wonderful love and kindred spirit between Madison and Mack, but it is the tryst between Jennifer and Brock that brings havoc, and a very interesting development in the writing.
I love the rawness of the cover, it actually says so much in itself.
Well done Mr R.M. Anderson, debut novelist, farmer and truck driver. Just a few hats?

I really enjoyed this book! A nice country story but with enough twists to not want you to put it down. Well done! I look forward to reading future books.

I really enjoyed this book. Fun, easy to read and I liked how it was back and forth between all the characters. Really enjoyed, read it in a couple of days as I just needed to know how it finished!

Not a winner. Quite a few typos in the text intermittently which did not impress. Pretty shallow. Interesting that no chapters had numbers - only the characters. Why would Brock want to stay at Stony Creek? He seemed to have little connection with the community. The only character I felt much for was Mack. If I could be bothered, I would quite like to read all the chapters for each character and see if that grabs me more, but I’m not bothered enough to do that. Why is the hype on books so OTT? A nice touch was the use of an 'Apple’ logo for the start of each chapter. Would permission have been needed for this from 'Apple' or 'Woolworths'? Quite liked the name of Zumba for the horse. Don’t know what 'Her parents had suddenly gone 3D on her ... ' on page 210 means. I must be too old!

It's rare that I give 5 stars to a book. This one had it all - wit, an original story and I'd love to know what inspired it. Almost every character acts as the narrator as some point, and many have more. But unlike others, this one flows beautifully.
January 30, 2018
I got a pen and physically corrected 6 mistakes that I picked up on as I read this, which was frustrating. The story is simply written, and is basically about a small town where everyone has affairs, and then break up to live with the ones they are attracted to now. I was recommended this by a bookseller who said "there's a sex scene in it making me blush thinking about it". Turns out even that was a let down as There were 2, and both no good!

A great small country town story filled with love and lust, and most notably the differing morals and moral standards that determine whether something is scandalous or just plain old fashioned fun. This is a heavily character-driven story and the author places you exactly where he wants you to be in order to see and feel what is happening in the story thus providing the reader a succinct, no-nonsense storytelling quality.
August 19, 2017
A quick read. This was a page turner from the beginning. Immediately you were thrown into the small town drama with the president of the P&C and new principal engaged in a romp and after the P&C meeting, the one classroom school burning down... this is an amusing tale of lies, lust and revenge. Lacks a bit of cohesion near the end, but you are just dying to know how it concludes.

DNF - Sorry, just not my cup of tea.
Way too many ‘he’d had’, ‘they’d had’ and ‘had had’s’ in there for me.
And are any of the characters worth rooting for? If a town that small was full of people like them, I’d move.

Poorly edited, mediocre, mildly amusing ,the characters were nasty, shallow and the writing was clumsy and didn't flow very well.

Small town activities - same thing happens in every small country town. Interesting characters, I went from liking them to hating them. Fairly predictable read, a good holiday read.
