Plot Summary of Adam and Evil
"In another of the series of Philadelphia-based Amanda Pepper novels, Gillian Roberts once again provides a reader with a fast-moving story that keeps enthusiasm high, without doses of unnecessary violence or gore. It is a relatively short-read (gripping in parts) about Miss Pepper's adventures with her students, sister, and beau (who happens to be on of Philadelphia's finest)as she tries to help clear her student from erroneous suspicion while figuring out who killed a rare book librarian at The Free Library of Philadelphia. "
Kellyann, Resident Scholar
