A Murder Mystery, Family Story, & Love Letter to Strong Women Everywhere: A VIRTUAL Author Talk w/Nina Simon

Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.

 

You’re invited to join Nina Simon online as she chats about her lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths, Mother-Daughter Murder Night.   Itfollowshigh-powered business woman Lana Rubicon who has a lot to be proud of with 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. 

 

In a turn of events, when Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Lana will pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power. 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 resisted: depend on each other.
