And Murder Makes Three

Description

Now in one volume-the first three Mommy-Track Mysteries from the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Mother and Love and Treasure. Bored with playdates and trips to the park, Juliet Applebaum - a public defender turned stay-at-home mom - is getting off the mommy track to hunt down murderers, mysteries and maybe a much-needed nap.

Ayelet Waldman is the author of Love and Treasure; Red Hook Road; Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities and Occasional Moments of Grace; Love and Other Impossible Pursuits (adapted into The Other Woman, a major motion picture starring Natalie Portman); and Daughter's Keeper. She's also the author of the Mommy-Track mysteries, including Bye-Bye Black Sheep, The Cradle Robbers, and Murder Plays House. Her essays have been published in The New York Times, The Guardian (UK), San Francisco Chronicle, Elle magazine, Salon.com, and elsewhere. Her radio commentaries have been featured on "All Things Considered" and "The California Report." A Harvard Law School graduate and former public defender, she lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband Michael Chabon and four children.
