Caught Dead in Philadelphia

The debut of Philly Prep English teacher and accidental sleuth, Amanda Pepper, (and of C. K. Mackenzie, homicide detective) won the World Mystery Convention's "Anthony" for best first mystery. When the body of a colleague is found dead in Amanda's living room, she has to clear herself of suspicion - and make sure she isn't the next victim as well. And all she's got as a clue to the real killer's identity is a locket shaped like Winnie-the-Pooh.
