Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In her latest novel featuring Philadelphia schoolteacher Amanda Pepper, Gillian Roberts blends mystery and humor while delving into the city's vibrant Mummers culture. Each New Year's Day, the Mummers' Parade captivates massive crowds as over thirty thousand performers take to Broad Street, showcasing their elaborate costumes and lively music. However, this year’s festivities take a dark turn when a reveling Pierrot collapses, shot dead amidst the celebration. Initially a shocked observer, Amanda is drawn into the investigation when her friend and fellow teacher at Philly Prep becomes the prime suspect, falsely claiming to have been with her during the murder. Determined to uncover the truth, Amanda navigates a web of deadly rivalries and secrets within the Mummers' community. She questions whether the murder is linked to the recent disappearance of another Mummer, an heir to a meat-packing dynasty, and why the tight-knit group is so reluctant to speak openly. As Amanda digs deeper, the mystery unfolds, and the truth behind the murder becomes increasingly elusive. With her characteristic wit and insight, Roberts leads readers through a captivating whodunit that keeps them guessing until the very end.
