A Must Read Book!!!!

This is a truly great book. A little bit of mystery and a whole lot of fun. Amanda Pepper and crew are so funny. The whole series is wonderful and this is one of the best.

Ah, the Amanda Pepper I remember fondly!

With Friends Like These is a return to the Amanda Pepper I became enchanted with, the wonderful mystery series, not the heavy handed social commentary of How I Spent My Summer Vacation.
