Amanda Lester and the Purple Rainbow Puzzle by Paula Berinstein

But at least they don’t normally have access to priceless artifacts. Toddlers have way too much power, with their “No, this” and “No that,” thought his classmate Amanda Lester. Which, come to think of it, was exactly why he’d been able to mess everything up. Who would have thought a little twerp like David Wiffle could bring an entire detective school to its knees? After all, he was just a little prig with the maturity level of a toddler. I honestly don’t think I could do any of this without his love and support. I don’t know what I’d do without her.Īnd of course, there’s Alan. My cover designer, Anna Mogileva, continues to produce amazing work. That is why I am so grateful to the people who made it through to this third Amanda Lester book: Alex Hetzler, Alyssa Spillar, Keenan Spillar, and Barbara Wong, as well as my husband, Alan Chaney. That’s why you have to ask much of your beta readers: you want them to stick with you from book to book so they’ll spot those problems. Sure, you can ask people who haven’t read the others, but even though each title should stand on its own, you can miss continuity errors. Amanda Lester, Detective, is the other sort: the story is ongoing, and each installment owes much to those that have preceded it.įinding test readers for any book past the first can be tough. Both involve recurring characters, but in one case the episodes are more or less self-contained.
