Philly Stakes (1995) - Plot & Excerpts

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 her way to find mysteries. She could almost be described as average and boring by those who don't know her. She also goes out of her way to help just about anyone. It's like she has a heart of gold even if that heart plunks her right into the middle of some serious trouble.I'm still no closer to finding out what Mackenzie's first name is. And there's very little mention of that little mystery in this second novel. But I'm still intrigued. I'm thinking Gillian plans to stretch that one out throughout the entire mystery series. And I'm oddly okay with that. Gives me something to ponder when I'm not reading her Philly series.I loved that Gillian did not decide to modernize the series as it was written a couple of decades ago. The whole debacle about the answering machine made me laugh. It reminded me of growing up and when my family got their first answering machine, tape included. I'm not sure the whole mystery would have worked if it had been modernized to today's standards.
