Amanda Pepper Mystery where Amanda is caught up in Halloween hi jinks (or are they?) at the prep school where she teaches. Lots of overdrawn characters that detracted from the mystery. I wasn’t fond of the first person presentation, although the writing was well crafted; the story: so-so.

Light, entertaining easy read: Amanda Pepper, high school English teacher at a third rate Philadelphia prep school, is forever running into murders which her (now) husband CK Mackenzie helps solve. Teen and teacher/administrator behavior is amusing though the plot is a little tired.

This was a particularly good one in the series. I enjoyed the sense that something was going on behind the scenes (appropriate because of the teenage characters involved). The ends tied up rather too neatly, but otherwise this was an enjoyable, humorous, mystery.

Entertaining mystery book with a different kind of investigator: an English teacher! I was kept guessing until the end and I always enjoy that in a story. Also all the talk of poems and literature made me want to take a literature class. :p

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 thrown in. Add a lot of classroom disscussions and a lot of literature and that pretty sums up the main bulk of the book.
I was dissapointed,I expected better pranks and more suspense,which the book ju More...

Read for a book club and did not enjoy it.
The plot was simplistic and the protagonist was self involved and critical of everyone in her life.
