Does Your Mother Know? (Castle Street Mysteries): A Christine Morris Mystery - Softcover

She blends the professional and personal in deft, balanced fashion, brings her murderous plotting to a reasonable if not entirely unexpected conclusion, and along the way makes both the geography and the people vividly real. ... Does Your Mother Know? is a page-turning introduction to Christine Morris in the 21st.

Jennings' tale is a clever, progressively complex one.

... the writing is easy, light, wryly humorous. The action is quick-paced, the plot just complex enough.

Jennings makes the most of Morris's conflicted history and current dilemma. As always, she's brilliant at the small details that give a setting life, and a dollop of potential romance with a handsome Scottish cop works nicely.

... the sense of place and how that setting is integrated into each character's soul is Jennings at her best.
