Publisher's Summary:
This best-selling mystery series, from an Anthony Award-winning author, features a unique sleuth. Amanda Pepper is not the usual gumshoe; she teaches English in one of Philadelphias most exclusive schools. In a world of old families and solid wealth, Amandas cases test her wit, wisdom, and social graces. During a lively discussion of The Awakening at Amandas book club meeting, a member, Helen Coulter, vigorously denounces the main characters suicide as cowardly. When Helen tragically falls from the roof of her house the very next day, Amanda finds it very strange that the death is ruled a suicide. Immediately, she smells foul play.As she begins an investigation, Amanda will follow an increasingly dangerous path--one leading toward a cold-blooded killer ready to strike again. Richly layered, Helen Hath No Fury has received glowing, widespread praise from critics and fans alike.

Love this series
When are you going to release the next book in this series for kindle, A Claire and Present Danger? I really enjoy this series.
another fun romp
I thought this was one of the better amanda pepper books, full of humorous writing and a well thought out plotline. my only reservation is that it took me only a few hours to read, and i wish roberts would write something longer.
Don't start the series with this book!
The book opens with Amanda Pepper's book discussion group. They are discussing a book called The Awakening, and one of the members, Helen Coulter, is unusually outspoken and passionate in her criticism of the lack of choices faced by the heroine of the book, which led to her suicide. She argued that suicide was cowardly, and too easy, and was a choice forced upon women by men. So if Helen had such fervent feelings about taking the easy way out, would she really leap to her death from the unfinished roof garden of her home--the very next afternoon? Amanda and some of the other book club members find it hard to believe, and in gathering their thoughts and memories to put on tape for Helen's daughter, Amanda gains some insights into other areas of Helens' life previously unknown to her. Without really wanting to be involved in ferreting out the truth of Helen's death, Amanda begins gathering knowledge of Helen's relationships with the others, and some of the events in the days and weeks before Helen plunged from the roof of her home.
I've always enjoyed the Amanda Pepper series, it's one of the best long-running series I've read. And the mystery of her boyfriend's initials is finally solved (I was wrong, darn it!). Add a book discussion group as the main theme, and I thought this was a book I was going to love. But somehow, that didn't happen. It was good, and I enjoyed it, just not as much as I have some of the others in the series. There was a subplot involving one of Amanda's students, coping with an unwanted pregnancy and a horrible home life, who disappears. Amanda is worried about the girl, but this thread doesn't seem to go anywhere, and although there is a solution of sorts to this problem, the whole thing just seemed tacked on. Amanda has always been extremely caring of her students, but this time it seems like once in a while in the story she stops and thinks *oh yeah, and Petra is still missing . . . *. Didn't ring true for me.
