Times are tough in LA, and Robert Klayman, substitute high school teacher, attempts to solve his money woes along with a midlife crisis by trying on a new career: He finds a job moonlighting as a private detective.
He's in over his head and soon enough stumbles upon a criminal drug ring working out of the Los Angeles Unified School District. His efforts and schemes to find the murderer of a young teacher take him on a spine-tingling journey through the violent netherworld of private detection.
From the streets of L.A. to the gaudy casinos of the Vegas strip, and to surreal, ghostly Arizona landscapes, Klayman finally redeems himself but at a price he never could imagine.

Great story, just needed one "good guy" By Boundless Book Reviews The Lesson Plan is a thriller told by Rob Claymon, a substitute teacher by day, and “wanna be” private investigator by night. As he is out on a simple case, he falls into a much bigger, murder mystery. The further he gets into the case, the more questions there are, and more bad guys turn up. It gets to where it becomes harder and harder to determine exactly WHO the good guy is.It’s a great story and it’s well written. It’s obvious that Prager is a talented writer, and he also narrated the story excellently. It’s rare to hear a book narrated by the author, but it enhances the story so much. I don’t know why more authors don’t do this; after all, the writer knows the emotion he’s trying to convey better than anyone he can hire. The only thing I would recommend is to make it easier to distinguish which character is talking in the dialog. A slight change of voice or another reader would have worked nicely.It’s a smooth and easy book to read, or listen to; I recommend it for your next road trip, as long as it is an adult trip. It is not made to be shared little ears. With that being said; I must share, it was impossible to relate to any of the characters. No one in the story had a moral compass of any kind. It’s hard to find who to root for, or even like, when everyone in the story is a jerk, slut, or criminal. If there would have been at least one character I could like, it would have been a 5 star book. The Lesson Plan has the makings for a great “the good guy always wins” story, but the good guy was the biggest jerk in the book. He starts the book out with a “the world is unfair,” and “everything bad is someone else’s fault,” negative outlook. As the story progresses, he proves that it is very much possible, that his shattered dreams and crappy life are a combination of his stupidity and bad choices.Overall, the lack of descent characters took a lot away from a great story with a talented author and narrator. I rate The Lesson Plan with 3 boundless stars....Beth
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. dirty blonde, divorced with a son By Stephen L. Brayton PlotRobert Klayman is a Los Angeles substitute teacher by day and a budding private investigator by...well, any day he's not teaching. He wants so much to be a P.I. First up, tailing a woman. When that ends in near death, he turns back to teaching. Only to meet another sub, who offers him what seems to be a simple case: hand over some items to her son in Arizona. But the case is not so simple and Klayman is fleeing for his life and looking for answers.So, we have a first-timer P.I. story. Well, every P.I. had to start somewhere. As for the plot, well, it was a little disjointed at times and connections were made that I didn't catch.CharactersRobert Klayman: Around 40, substitute teacher and amateur P.I., drives an '83 Honda, owns a dogCal: P.I.Sheila Farelly: Around 40, dirty blonde, divorced with a son, owns a cat, drives a black MercedesMaria Castro: 17, attractiveNo description of Robert. Robert's relationship with Maria is downright creepy and a turnoff. Didn't get too much description of some of the other players, Cal and Zeke.DialogueOkay for voices. Maria's came through. Some B-movie bad guy lines near the end.WritingThis is where the problems lie. First off there was unnecessary profanity and several racial slurs. Second-and I became aware of this though about halfway through: Robert's dog was spoken about a lot. Good buddy, I understand, but what breed of dog is Homer (the dog's name? This was never mentioned. I gather he was large-ish, furry, and built for the Arctic. I thought, a-ha, Husky. But then he is mentioned as being colored orange. Golden Retriever? I don't know but when I found myself thinking more about the dog than the actual plot, it became a problem.Part of the reason for this is because the author spends too much time on the teaching part of Klayman's life and not enough on the detective stuff. I realize that a lot of the crime involves the teaching side, but about 1/3 of the book goes by before he's given the major case. Yes, he has a case at the beginning (that connects up in time), but the next one doesn't come along till much later. Then nearly half the book goes by before there's any real action, meaning danger. Again, there was some at the beginning, but it was done and gone pretty quick.Again, I must reiterate the relationship between Robert and Maria. A sub-teacher should know better and because of this I found Robert not likeable, especially since he wants so much to be a good detective.Sheila's last name is spelled differently in two chapters.Not believable parts:- Maria allowed in a Vegas casino and allowed to gamble.- when Robert meets Sheila, she hands him a business card. In a later meeting, he asks her name. Wouldn't her card have her name?- I cannot believe that after Robert flees Arizona, leaving his car, that the police didn't find the car and discover its owner before Robert retrieves it. I can maybe believe the police didn't find a weapon he tossed, but the car should have been found, especially since there was a BOLO on him and his car.- during a scene where Robert is robbed, his dog has been growling low before, but when the action starts, the dog does nothing?- the last chapter was completely not believable. The cops show up to arrest Robert for attempted murder. They're not going to wait outside while Robert puts on his pants. They are also not going to act and talk like they did. This is a serious crime and they're joking around.Again, I missed the connections Robert apparently caught to put the case together. Maybe it was my thinking about the dog too much or catching some of the mistakes. Whatever the reason, the weakness of the writing brought this, at first down to camo, but after the last chapter went over the line, I had to drop the rank to:Orange Belt

Murder With A Dash of Humor By booklover Robert Klayman is a part-time substitute teacher and when he's not teaching surly students, he's learning how to become a Private Investigator.On his first 'field trip' working for Cal Keller, his assignment is to follow a particular woman. Unfortunately, not all goes according to plan. He finds the woman dead and he is knocked out before he can do anything. His new boss fires him, understandably.He's not giving up, though. Meanwhile, back in school, he meets an attractive woman, another substitute. Being a guy, he does what a guy does .... and she leads him into all sorts of things he hadn't counted on.She talks him into driving her to Arizona to deliver a package to her son. This leads to an assortment of troubles .... drugs, guns, a police chase. And it doesn't stop there. It gets worse when he winds up in Las Vegas.This book seems to have it all .. including a lot of humor and a hound dog named Homer. I found myself chuckling from time to time or just shaking my head. There is plenty of action, a bit of romance here and there, and of course, a murder.Though not my normal kind of read, it compelled me to keep reading and I thoroughly enjoyed it.My thanks to the author and Wordslinger Publicity who kindly furnished an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
