LONDON HOLIDAY

By Richard Peck

Viking, 272 pages, $23.95

After a Chicago-area teacher is shot by the deranged mother of a student, her two childhood friends whisk her (and her surly teenage daughter) to London to recuperate in this absorbing novel. Author Richard Peck, well-known for his young-adult books, portrays the middle-age women with insight and wit, especially when they end up temporarily running a bed-and-breakfast.
