Book excerpt: The Anthony Award–winning series continues with two novels featuring the Philly Prep teacher turned PI by “the Dorothy Parker of mystery writers” (Nancy Pickard, author of the Jenny Cain series). A Hole in Juan Halloween always means mischief at Philly Prep, where Amanda Pepper teaches English. But now the school is facing a series of mishaps ranging from the trivial to the potentially deadly. And it’s not at all funny when the new science instructor, Juan Reyes, receives a threatening message recalling that a teacher was once flayed to death by his students. As Amanda juggles teaching and moonlighting as a private eye with her husband C.K., she tries to find out who is behind the ominous events. But before she can unmask the tricksters, the unrest escalates into a lethally explosive menace, and Amanda receives a warning that there is far worse to come. All’s Well that Ends Amanda’s friend Sasha’s stepmother has just committed suicide—although, according to Sasha, Phoebe Ennis would never kill herself, especially not while wearing a red silk blouse and four-inch heels. Amanda reluctantly agrees to investigate the woman’s demise, though the evidence for foul play is slim. True, Phoebe wasn’t universally loved. Her own son hated her, and she bored her friends to death with hints of her “royal” lineage. And with four marriages behind her, she was already preparing to announce her renewed availability on the Internet. But when another woman is found dead in Phoebe’s house, it becomes clear that something is indeed murderously amiss, and much closer to home than Amanda or anyone else could have imagined.
