The Mummer's Curse (Amanda Pepper Mysteries)

The Mummer's Curse (Amanda Pepper Mysteries) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"ANOTHER FUNNY PHILLY PUZZLER . . . Notable for how comfortably it occupies the space between cozy and city-grit crime fiction."

--Publishers Weekly

When a reveling Pierrot is shot dead at the Mummers' Parade in Philadelphia, schoolteacher Amanda Pepper is first just a horrified spectator. But then the prime suspect--her friend and fellow teacher at Philly Prep--falsely claims to have been with her at the time of the murder. Amanda can no longer stay on the sidelines, as she plunges into the Mummers' tight-knit world, where no one seems willing to help her find a dangerous killer. . . .

"Entertaining . . . A fun read."

--West Coast Review of Books

"Delightful."

--San Diego Union-Tribune
