After a tough year of teaching at Philly Prep, Amanda Pepper decides to go to Atlantic City with her friend Sasha Berg. Yet a beach vacation turns deadly when a bludgeoned corpse shows up in their hotel room - and Sasha is the prime suspect.

This is not a comedy and yet the author's sense ...
This is not a comedy and yet the author's sense of humor that is artfully woven throughout the book in so many ways.
Two Stars
Slow going
Good story line and good writing
Ms. Roberts always comes up with interesting messes for Amanda to solve. The author writes well and does not get involved into too much detail where it is not needed to keep up with the story line.
Amanda Pepper Does Atlantic City
Gillian Roberts never fails to impress me with her Amanda Pepper series. The further into the series I delve, the more I enjoy her. She's not as timid as I once believed her to be. And her naveté is slowly disappearing. I do feel bad for her sine she can't even seem to get through a short vacation in Atlantic City without a mishap - or three! And her relationship with CK Mckenzie seems to be on the verge of non-existent. Amanda never seems very secure with where she stands with the man with no first name. I like that they are going to be having a "Talk" and don't forget the capital T. CK seems utterly frightened by this prospect like most men would be if they were put in the same position.
I do have a lot of questions left unanswered by the time this book ended. What happens to Georgette the homeless lady? Does she join the class-action suit? Do they ever put a class-action suit together? Who do they get to sue? Did the police find any of the money? Did they have any evidence to charge the murderer or was it just Amanda's word against theirs? What happens to Lucky and his gambling mother? I'd like if Gillian decided to revisit Atlantic City and have Miss Pepper reunite with all her new friends. Does Lala really marry Tommy? Lots of questions, but I still loved book 5 (?) in the series.
Pepper is a Fun Read
This is a fun, easy read. I laughed out loud a few times (which was a little embarrassing at Starbucks). Besides the murder, I enjoyed the banter between Amanda and her friend Sasha, and the relationship between her and her non-boyfriend boyfriend Mackenzie.
