The Mummer&’s Curse &“Philadelphia&’s New Year&’s Day Mummers&’ Parade, a splashy, fiercely competitive affair, turns murderous&” when a parade clown is shot dead and one of Amanda&’s Philly Prep colleagues is suspected &“in yet another funny Philly puzzler for schoolteacher Amanda Pepper&” (Publishers Weekly). The Bluest Blood Amanda looks forward to an ultra-elegant fundraiser in a fabled Main Line mansion to benefit Philly Prep&’s library. But the fairytale evening takes a dark turn thanks to a protest group vehemently opposing any books that &“pollute the mind.&” When the conflict becomes deadly, Amanda takes &“another swift and intriguing spin through the sometimes murderous precincts of Philadelphia&” (Publishers Weekly). Adam & Evil When a high school senior shows signs of mental illness, Amanda attempts to get him help, but she&’s rebuffed by his parents. Then, when the same boy becomes the prime suspect in a murder at the Philadelphia Main Library—and runs away—Amanda has no choice but to run after him. Even if it means running headlong into a killer&’s path. Adam & Evil includes a new introduction from author Gillian Roberts and an exclusive interview with Amanda Pepper herself!
