Motherhood Is Murder
reviewed on + 57 more book reviews


Four of mystery's reigning matriarchs have joined together to concoct a delectable stew of clues, corpses, and felonious hijinks -- all spectacularly seasoned with a mother's loving touch! In this witty and winning quartet of all-new mysteries, the incomparable MARY DAHEIM gives harried mom Cousin Renie from the bestselling "Bed-and-Breakfast" series a triple dose of the murderous wedding bell blues; the inimitable award-winner CAROLYN HART of "Death on Demand" fame lets madcap mother-in-law Laurel Darling take a turn at the investigative chores; the remarkable JANE ISENBERG sets menopausal mother Bel Barrett loose to solve a dastardly case of nanny-cide; and the fabulous SHIRLEY ROUSSEAU MURPHY -- whose "Joe Grey" mysteries are the cat's meow -- enchants once again, as a delightful duo of feline mamas sinks their claws into a murder investigation.
