Book Recommendation: Mother-Daughter Murder Night

I’ve been waiting on this book for sometime and it finally became available. It’s another murder mystery and while it was not as good as the last one I posted about, it is good just the same. The book has plenty of suspects who have the motive to murder, and surprisingly, I guessed the killer about half way through (which didn’t ruin it because I wasn’t 100 percent sure).

Here is the Goodreads synopsis:

Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.

A lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths. Gilmore Girls , but with murder.

High-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon has a lot to be proud her keen intelligence, impeccable taste, and the L.A. real estate empire she’s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does. 

Then Jack—tiny in stature but fiercely independent—happens upon a dead body while kayaking. She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea. She’ll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power. With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always done – depend on each other.

“Gilmore Girls, but with murder,” is enough to make you want to pick it up, right? As I listened to the audiobook, I could see this being a great movie.

4 out of 5 stars.
