Claire and Present Danger

Following Helen Hath No Fury (2000), here's another mystery featuring schoo lteacher and amateur sleuth Amanda Pepper. This time out Amanda's hired by the wealthy Claire Fairchild, who tells our hero that the impending marriag e between her son, Leo, and the beautiful Emmie Cade could be derailed by s ome anonymous letters suggesting that her soon-to-be daughter-in-law might not be the wonderful young woman everyone thinks she is. Digging into Emmie 's past, Amanda uncovers a whole lot of suspicious things, most of which pa le in comparison to the murder that happens in the here and now. In many wa ys, this is a traditional amateur-detective yarn; cosmetically, it looks li ke just another cozy. But there's one important difference: Amanda Pepper. She's young, sparky, funny, tough--pretty much the antithesis of the grandm otherly stereotype so common in the genre. Amanda is nobody's grandmother. And, as her fans have already discovered, she's nobody to mess with, either.
