Worth biting the apple for,

This review is from: Adam and Evil: An Amanda Pepper Mystery (Amanda Pepper Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Amanda Peppers, English teacher at a prep school, means well, but she just seems to always get herself into trouble and Adam and Evil is no exception. She is worried about the change in behavior of one of her students, Adam Evans. When she tries to discuss his problems with his parents, they become very defensive and accuse her of trying to destroy their son. And then to make matters worse, she takes her class on a field trip to a library, the librarian is murdered and Adam disappears. The headmaster at the school blames Amanda and hints that he is going to fire her. Amanda trys to solve the murder, find Adam, keep her job and her significant other, all why trying to keep from getting killed herself. This is a great take along book. It moves fast, is well-written, easy to read and is funny to boot. Amanda Pepper is a very likable character.

The Truth about Teaching,
This review is from: Adam and Evil: An Amanda Pepper Mystery (Amanda Pepper Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Gillian Robert's has given the best to date! "Adam and Evil" is a thoroughly intriging and honest work. The story's theme touched the heart of this high school teacher's experience and frustration when attempting to aid a student in crisis. Along with Ms. Robert's usual gift for brilliant writing, the reader is treated to an insider's view to the struggles a teacher sometimes encounters when stonewalled by parents in denial, the administration, and the law. From the first two chapters, those who know Mandy will be desperate to get to the end to discover the changes she may or may not make in her life. Brava to Gillian Roberts and I am eager to begin her newest work, "Helen Hath No Fury".

Characters that Breathe!,
By Tiffany Rothengast (NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adam and Evil (Hardcover)
Once again Ms. Roberts tickles our social conscience without using a heavy hand. A bright and very human Amanda Pepper takes us down familiar streets with new twists. While reaching out to help a student she is sent alone into a spiral of confusion by the world's apathy and her life, both literally and figuratively, is in jeopardy. I would love to see Mackenzie take Amanda on a bayou adventure. Chaz?
