Two of her four kids may be out of the nest, but Lucy Stone knows only too well that mothering is a lifetime commitment. At least she gets to kick back and enjoy a fancy Mother's Day brunch with her broodâthat is, before the festivities are interrupted by a nasty scene courtesy of Barbara Hume and Tina Nowak.
Opposites in every way, these mean moms have only one thing in common: the need to best each other at every turn, using their teenage daughters as pawns in elaborate games of one-upmanship. But even after witnessing the womenâs claw-sharpening rituals, Lucy never expects to see actual blood spilledâuntil Tina is shot dead on the public tennis courtâŚ
âAs charming and enjoyable as ever.ââRomantic Times
âLucy Stone is an endearing sleuth.ââDorothy Cannell
