In this engaging novel featuring Philadelphia schoolteacher Amanda Pepper, Gillian Roberts blends mystery with humor. The story centers around the city's vibrant Mummers, who dedicate themselves to the glory of the New Year's Day Parade. This year, the festivities take a dark turn when a Pierrot collapses, shot dead amidst the celebration. Initially a horrified bystander, Amanda is drawn into the investigation when her friend and fellow teacher at Philly Prep falsely claims to have been with her during the murder. This prompts her to dig deeper into the case. Is the murder linked to fierce rivalries among the Mummers? Could it relate to the recent disappearance of another Mummer, heir to a meat-packing family? As Amanda navigates the close-knit community, she discovers a reluctance to reveal the truth. With her sharp wit and determination, she is determined to uncover the secrets behind the tragedy. In this captivating tale, Roberts leads readers through a colorful world where the mystery unfolds with both intrigue and humor.
