All's Well That Ends (2007)

Book

Philly Stakes (1995)

Amanda Pepper is the ultimate in everyday crime solvers. She's really a school teacher, but seemed to find herself in some awkward situations where she just has to play sleuth. I really like her because she's believable. She doesn't pull clues and theories out of mid air and she doesn't go out of...

A Hole in Juan (2007)

I had high hopes for this book. Any cozy set at Halloween is my idea of the perfect read. Unfortunately this one did not have as much halloween festivities as I expected. The main character is a school teacher, who notices a lot of pranks around school, a teacher gets hurt and more pranks are thr...

The Bluest Blood (1999)

For English teacher Amanda Pepper, the champagne gala on behalf of Philly Prep's library is her introduction to the ultrarich Main Line society--an evening so extravagant that nothing can tarnish the party . . . not even a group of protesters outside burning the host in effigy.

In the Dead of Summer (1996)

Philly. I mean the city, not the sandwich. And Ms. Pepper. In my eyes, one does not go without the other. The City of Brotherly Love would be a much lesser place without Mandy, the teacher.

Book

Mummers' Curse

I yearned for a public hue and cry, a real reaction. Something dreadful had happened, and only the air currents—both atmospheric and electronic—seemed agitated. I turned on the TV for a quick look. “Murder at the Mummers’ Parade,” a voice said on the hour. “Details on tonight’s Headline News.” An...

Mummers' Curse by Gillian Roberts
Book

Time and Trouble (2014)

It was time to put pressure on Zack—either he was able to come back, or he was not. She had cut him more than enough slack but she had a business to run, and enough was enough of trying to make do. “I’m sorry,” she said as she entered the outer office, “our receptionist is on sick leave and…” A m...

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

There was a new and interesting light on everything. I was consumed by the idea of a horde of angry and frightened senior citizens, worried, possibly with cause, that they’d been taken. What had Reese really done, if anything, and what was facing him, and how much did it matter to him? There was,...
