A Playdate With Death (Mommy Track Mysteries Book 3)

Smart, witty mystery from the author of Bad Mother and Love and Treasure...

Public defender turned stay-at-home mom Juliet Applebaum is a â€œsmart and fearlessâ€ (Sue Grafton) sleuth whose previous adventures have been praised as â€œcompellingâ€ (Publishers Weekly) and â€œentertainingâ€ (Booklist). In A Playdate with Death, sheâ€™s back in top formâ€”taming tantrums, battling boredom, chasing cluesâ€¦

No one ever said motherhood was a walk in the park, but Juliet Applebaum is doing her best. Sheâ€™s been showing up (more or less) on time to pick up her daughter from preschool. Sheâ€™s trying (in vain) to discourage her two-and-a-half-year-old sonâ€™s interest in firearms. And in between planning playdates and playing dress up, sheâ€™s even managed to fit in some much-needed kid-free time, working out with a personal trainer at the local health club. Itâ€™s going well. Sheâ€™s losing weight. Sheâ€™s even happyâ€”until her trainer commits suicide.

A charming, cheerful aspiring actor, Bobby Katz seemed to have it allâ€”and Juliet just canâ€™t believe he died at his own hand. She suspects that thereâ€™s a much more sinister explanationâ€”and that it may lie with Bobbyâ€™s parents, who never told him he was adopted. Or with his grieving fiancee, a recovering addict who just fell off the wagon. Or with his birth mother, a woman he had recently started to look forâ€”who had gone to great lengths to ensure that she would never be found. Always up for a task that will get her out of the house, Juliet keeps running down secretsâ€”until, at last, she runs into the truthâ€¦

Ayelet Waldman is the author of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, Red Hook Road, Daughter's Keeper, and other acclaimed works, as well as the Mommy-Track Mysteries, including such titles as The Big Nap and Death Gets a Time-Out.
