From Booklist
Philadelphia English teacher and amateur sleuth Amanda Pepper returns in another entertaining adventure. It's the week before Halloween, and students and faculty at Amanda's school are falling victim to mysterious events that are too ominous to merely be called pranks. Teaming up with her private-eye husband, Amanda determines to find out what's going on and why. As usual, Roberts keeps the story moving swiftly and fairly lightly. Another solid entry in a reliable, contemporary-cozy series. -
