Author Talk: Nina Simon
Wednesday, May 8, 4:00 PM
Virtual Program Adults and Teens
Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door.
Join New York Times-bestselling author Nina Simon online as she chats about her lighthearted whodunnit (a Reece's Book Club pick) about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths, Mother-Daughter Murder Night.
Mother-Daughter Murder Night follows high-powered business woman Lana Rubicon. She 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 three amateur sleuths start to unravel the mystery.
Harness your inner detective and sign up for the investigation. Register now!
