- Synopsis
- She may be a mild-mannered Philadelphia schoolteacher, but when there's murder in the air, Amanda Pepper always manages to teach the police a neat new trick or two. This time America's hot vacation spot, Atlantic City, is the scene of the cold-blooded crime. After a tough year of teaching at Philly Prep, Amanda Pepper craves a relaxing beach vacation. As luck would have it, her carefree photographer friend, Sasha Berg, has a seaside shoot in Atlantic City--and a hotel room for Amanda to use as a crash pad. Yet the free lodging becomes a murder scene when Sasha finds a stranger bludgeoned to death in her bed. The man was Jesse Reese, a beloved financier who advised the elderly on investment deals--and someone Sasha had never met. But a witness claims he saw Sasha with the victim--and her only alibi has vanished into thin air. So when the police threaten to arrest Sasha, Amanda flies into action, hoping to save her friend and track down a Sasha look-alike. But whether man or woman, friend or foe, she hasn't a clue. Gathering her wits, Amanda hits the boardwalk and chases down clues around the surf and under the casinos, discovering along the way that appearances are more than deceiving: they can be criminal--and, sometimes, downright murderous.... You'll find the rest of the books in this series about Amanda, the high school English teacher whose mother is desperate to see her married, whose best friend is beyond flamboyant, who's cop boyfriend is frustratingly indecisive, and who's sharp observations make every character funny, poignant, annoying and colorful in every other way.
