Helen Hath No Fury

This best-selling mystery series, from an Anthony Award-winning author, features a unique sleuth. Amanda Pepper is not the usual gumshoe; she teaches English in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive schools. In a world of old families and solid wealth, Amanda's cases test her wit, wisdom, and social graces. During a lively discussion of The Awakening at Amanda's book club meeting, a member, Helen Coulter, vigorously denounces the main character's suicide as cowardly. When Helen tragically falls from the roof of her house the very next day, Amanda finds it very strange that the death is ruled a suicide. Immediately, she smells foul play. As she begins an investigation, Amanda will follow an increasingly dangerous path--one leading toward a cold-blooded killer ready to strike again. Richly layered, Helen Hath No Fury has received glowing, widespread praise from critics and fans alike.
