In her Amanda Pepper mysteries， Gillian Roberts evokes the City of Brotherly Love in all its charm， mischief， and menace. Now she turns her wickedly perceptive eye to the residents of Philadelphia s posh Main Line district， the legendary land of the rich and well-to-do， where the wealthy live their very private lives--and occasionally commit very scandalous crimes. Aristocratic Philadelphia natives may think the bluest blood in America flows through their veins， but sometimes outsiders with large fortunes can buy their way into this privileged company--and glamorous newcomers Neddy and Tea Roederer have wealth aplenty.For English teacher Amanda Pepper， the champagne gala on behalf of Philly Prep s library is a night to remember. After all， it is her introduction to ultra-rich society--an evening so extravagant that nothing can tarnish the party . . . not even a group of protesters outside burning the host in effigy.But Amanda senses deeper trouble， and her intuition is right on target. The Moral Ecologists， who vehemently feel that "reading pollutes the mind，" will do anything to advance their agenda. And Amanda s new affluent acquaintances prove to be just as deceitful and violent--as she learns firsthand that the bluest blood bleeds just as red. Especially with murder.With her customary bons mots， elegant prose， and storytelling prowess， Gillian Roberts upholds her enviable reputation as "the Dorothy Parker of mystery writers . . . giving more wit per page than most writers give per book." ** Nancy Pickard
