Mother Gets a Lift — Lesley A. Diehl

Angela Baker should be thrilled at having given birth to her third baby, but her mother always finds a way of spoiling the moment.  This time Mom takes a cruise specializing in plastic surgery and ends up overboard, murdered and leaving  Angela to identify the body.  But is it Mom?  Angela isn't certain but, then again...who would be?  The woman has become unrecognizable as a result of too many little "procedures."  


Pushed by a detective determined to close the book on the murder, Angela does her own investigating and turns up more than one mother as well as the knife-wielding doctor from hell.


A new short story from our Fingerprints line and the author of MURDER WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
