A Playdate With Death
Author: Ayelet Waldman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101664584
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Smart, witty mystery from the author of Bad Mother and Love and Treasure... Public defender turned stay-at-home mom Juliet Applebaum is a “smart and fearless” (Sue Grafton) sleuth whose previous adventures have been praised as “compelling” (Publishers Weekly) and “entertaining” (Booklist). In A Playdate with Death, she’s back in top form—taming tantrums, battling boredom, chasing clues… No one ever said motherhood was a walk in the park, but Juliet Applebaum is doing her best. She’s been showing up (more or less) on time to pick up her daughter from preschool. She’s trying (in vain) to discourage her two-and-a-half-year-old son’s interest in firearms. And in between planning playdates and playing dress up, she’s even managed to fit in some much-needed kid-free time, working out with a personal trainer at the local health club. It’s going well. She’s losing weight. She’s even happy—until her trainer commits suicide. A charming, cheerful aspiring actor, Bobby Katz seemed to have it all—and Juliet just can’t believe he died at his own hand. She suspects that there’s a much more sinister explanation—and that it may lie with Bobby’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 for—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 secrets—until, at last, she runs into the truth… 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.

A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. A MURDER. A CHILD. RAD. A GHOSTING. A psychopath murdered his young wife to avoid the mess of a divorce. To make a clean break. He left a child in the wake, broken, and in danger of violence at the hands of those who believed the lies of the boy's narcissistic father. Miles away in Alaska, a young lawyer adopted her second child with her new husband. Their son Sam was the three-year-old child of that murderer of Mexican-American descent, and an unsuspecting Japanese mistress. He desperately needed a new family far away from the lurid scandal that was rocking the State of New Mexico. Over the next fifteen years, Sam's thirteenth mother slowly, frighteningly, came to realize the damage Sam's first three years caused him. At eighteen years of age, he walked out. He walked away from his younger brother who adored him, from his sister who antagonized him, from his mother who desperately loved him. Mommy No. 13 explores the development of Sam's childhood in the Last Frontier, and of his decision to leave it all behind.
