Sounds daunting, doesn't it? Today's book is Adam and Evil, a mystery novel by Gillian Roberts, another female mystery novelist.
The main character is Amanda Pepper, English teacher at Philly Prep and girlfriend of a homicide policeman. The book opens with her sharing suspicions of one of her students, Adam Evans. So far, Adam fits the description of your typical, teenage sociopath. During a class trip to the library (YAY!), a woman is strangled to death. Adam is suspect (and conveniently disappears), but it could also be the woman's ex-husband, ex-lover, or sister who are involved.
I don't know who done it yet, but I'd sure love to find out. Roberts is an enjoyable read, and she does stick to writing what she knows: a character who loves literature. Unlike some mysteries, the clues are obvious to spot so far. It's just a matter of putting them together and learning more.
