Mommy and the Murder — Nancy Goldstone

DIAPERS, DIVORCE...AND MURDER

After leaving her hectic Wall Street career and surviving the breakup of her marriage, Elizabeth Halperin is eager to begin again in the solitude of the Berkshires, with her eleven-month-old daughter, Emily. The last thing she expects is to become a prime suspect in a brutal crime of passion.

Yet when someone fatally shoots Elizabeth's womanizing ex-husband, the infamous author Howard Hack, at a lavish Halloween party, suspicion falls on Elizabeth, who stands to inherit his vast fortune. As the police build their case, the plucky Elizabeth--with the help of her friends in Emily's play group--turns into an amateur sleuth to clear her name. Because, baby, this is one mommy determined to stay out of the slammer.
