This book embodies what I want from a cozy mystery. :) The story is gripping, there is humour, action, and a convincing sleuth.There were several times I wished I were his editor, because I would certainly have pushed him on some of the characterizations among other issues. The book dimmed and brightened. The language use was flawless, though.
I get the impression this is an early novel. Given how good it was, I look forward to his future work with anticipatory pleasure.

Death Before Swine edition by VK Scott Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I won a free copy of this, but it's definitely worth far more than free! I loved this book and especially the main character. Ben Hart is just what I like in an amateur detective and in a narrator. He's an all-around nice guy, well-meaning, and he stumbles into his "job" before he even realizes what's happening. He's a regular guy with regular guy problems...who just happens to be wrapped up in a murder investigation. Combine him with good secondary characters and a well-crafted mystery, and I'm sold! Recommending this one to all my mystery-reading friends, and I can't wait to read the next one.
Chemistry is a matter of putting formulas together so it is no surprise that Ben Hart, a chemistry teacher, turns amateur detective after being suspended from teaching. There are explosions, drugs, gambling, and affairs to investigate all while trying to solve a murder. Author Scoot wants you to read the book to discover if Ben is a better teacher or investigator. It is a good start for a cozy mystery series that features a male lead.
The first in new mystery series, Death Before Swine introduces Ben Hart, a chemistry teacher, who is caught up in the misdeeds of his colleagues at his hometown high school. First Ben's classroom is ruined in a chemical explosion, then a treasured school icon is destroyed and the school principal is quick to blame Ben's teaching methods, firing him. Ben suspects these pranks are hiding something more sinister though and when the football coach is murdered, he decides to investigate.
The plot of Death Before Swine is solid, well mapped with plenty of suspects and a few more bodies added to keep things interesting. While solving Coach Griffin's murder is the main focus of the story, Ben is sidetracked by drug dealing, gambling debts, false test data and a romantic entanglement or two. The sub plots give the novel depth and though I identified the killer quite early on, the murderer's motivations, when revealed, were a surprise.
As an amateur sleuth, Ben is willing to admit his failings which is quite endearing. He is a bit of geek, useless in physical confrontations but has a strong moral center and an almost naive determination to solve the mystery. He makes for a likeable protagonist as he ardently pursues leads while side stepping the local detective and the seedier side of Diamond Alley.
There is a pleasant thread of humour running through Death Before Swine that lightens the tone of the story. I thought the writing to be strong and the text well edited.
Death Before Swine is an entertaining cozy mystery that has the potential to develop into a strong series. I rarely find cozies with a male protagonist so I enjoyed the endearing perspective of Ben Hart and look forward to joining him on his next case.
Great read.I couldn't put it down. Hope for more by this author soon.
