Series: A Mommy-track Mystery
by Author Ayelet Waldman
A Playdate With Death (2003)
Ok, this book had an amusing cover that caught my eye in the new book section at the library, so I grabbed it. It's really what I'd call a fluff mystery, but unlike the other book I didn't like, I loved this one. Yes the main character is dealing with death (possible murder), but she is still gre...
The Cradle Robbers (2006)
