When Liza Nichols' lifeless body is discovered in Amanda Pepper's living room, the thirtyish unmarried schoolteacher becomes the prime suspect in her friend's death.

- The Mummer's Curse
7
Gillian Roberts is the nom de mystEre of mainstream novelist Judith Greber. Winner of the Anthony Award and a favorite of mystery fans across the country, the Amanda Pepper mysteries are an irresistible combination of wit and intrigue. English teacher and part-time sleuth Amanda Pepper is enjoying Philadelphia's famous Mummers' Parade-reveling in costumes that rival Mardi Gras and cheering for a brigade of ornately costumed clowns passing close by. Her festive spirit is shattered, however, when one of the costumed revelers sinks to the ground, and the amateur sleuth finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation in which the prime suspect is a fellow teacher at Philly Prep. Filled with feisty characters, humorous dialogue and a light touch of romance, The Mummer's Curse will keep you guessing as Amanda's investigation leads her deeper into the many rivalries and traditions of Philadelphia's famous folk celebration.
- Adam and Evil
9
Gillian Roberts' witty, literate Amanda Pepper mysteries are irresistible. Following the adventures of Philadelphia's finest English teacher/ detective, the books crackle with humor and suspense. When a class trip coincides with a murder, Amanda's concern over the behavior of one of her students makes him the prime suspect. Dusting off her sleuthing skills in an effort to clear him, Amanda finds enough suspicious suspects to stuff a cheese steak sandwich. As she struggles to overcome a pompous principal, a romantic reference librarian, and a slew of listless students to get at the truth, Amanda starts to wonder if she should look for a new line of work. Adam and Evil showcases Roberts and Pepper at their snappy, wise-cracking best. Christina Moore's narration adds just the right touch of exasperated frustration.
- Helen Hath No Fury
10
This best-selling mystery series, from an Anthony Award-winning author, features a unique sleuth. Amanda Pepper is not the usual gumshoe; she teaches English in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive schools. In a world of old families and solid wealth, Amanda's cases test her wit, wisdom, and social graces. During a lively discussion of The Awakening at Amanda's book club meeting, a member, Helen Coulter, vigorously denounces the main character's suicide as cowardly. When Helen tragically falls from the roof of her house the very next day, Amanda finds it very strange that the death is ruled a suicide. Immediately, she smells foul play. As she begins an investigation, Amanda will follow an increasingly dangerous path--one leading toward a cold-blooded killer ready to strike again. Richly layered, Helen Hath No Fury has received glowing, widespread praise from critics and fans alike.
