Mother knows best,
A really good plot that ended with a nice twist. Okay some of the proofing errors were bad but on the whole a really great read.
She has received a phone call to say her mother is dying. Spending most of her savings on a ticket she flues home and endures many hours on numerous buses. Only to find her mother fit and well and setting up a detective agency. With no money for a flight back, she has has to help out. Their first case of pilfered doughnuts leads to murder, illegal gambling, infidelity and taking in a homeless boy. Can the the mother and daughter (although it always seems to be the daughter that does all the physical chasing etc) solve the case - find the killer and get the young boy out of the frame? Whilst the lead detective is determined to get them off the case, our heroine is seeing hearts everytime she looks at him. Wonderful characters from the easily manipulated, highly romantic heroine to the manipulative, scheming mother.

Mama
I. Hated. This. Book. Didn't finish it. Bea is supposed to be 26 years old; she acts 12. Mama is a terrible person; she is a manipulative jerk. Neither character is likable. My personal pet peeve is characters who are in their late 20a or early 30s who are still hung up on high school. Who does that? Just, no.
