| Plot Summary of Helen hath no Fury |
|---|
"Another in the Amanda Pepper series of Gillian Roberts' Philadelphia-based novels. This was a great book for a vacation or sitting poolside.
It is not too "heavy" and is not bogged down with tomes of specifics of technological entities or gore. It is a fast read about a group of acquaintences who share a fondness for literature, and are in a book group.
Amanda, a teacher for Philly Prep, finds herself trying to find out why one of her club-mates has decided to kill herself, by jumping off the top of her fashionable-addressed roof, in Center City Philadelphia."
Kellyann , Resident Scholar
