I found it hard to believe that MOTHER-DAUGHTER
MURDER NIGHT by Nina Simon is a debut novel. Simon started
writing it when her own Mom was diagnosed with cancer and one of the characters
in this mystery battles cancer, too. She needs a diversion and an unsolved
murder is the perfect distraction. Simon introduces readers to a very likeable
and somewhat quirky trio: a hard as
nails real estate dealmaker and grandmother (Lana); her hard-working daughter (Beth)
who is a nurse and single Mom; plus, teenage granddaughter (Jack for
Jacqueline) who loves outdoor activities like paddleboarding and kayaking. They
have their differences, but truly love and respect each other so when it
appears that Jack is a prime suspect in a recent murder, all three eventually
get involved in the investigating. Yes, there are some poor decisions, but
plenty of surprises for the characters along with both suspenseful and amusing
vignettes for readers. MOTHER-DAUGHTER MURDER NIGHT received a starred review from Library Journal (“dazzling
debut delivers everything a mystery fan could crave”) and has
been chosen as a Reese Book Club pick. You are sure to enjoy this light, cozy
and very entertaining mystery!
