Mystery Cozy

First-time mommy Kate Connolly is still adjusting to the world of multi-tasking that moms are so familiar with. She has her fledgling private investigation job to keep active while trying to be the best mother she can be to little Laurie. So far, with help from her husband Jim, her mom, her best friend Paula and her boss, Galigani, she's doing pretty good. But when Kate and Laurie are victims of a hit and run accident that involves a member of the French embassy, and no one at the embassy will fess up to being responsible, Kate is determined to find out why. But the scrutiny soon turns from an accident inquiry to a murder investigation when people start dropping dead left and right -- and all have the common denominator of having been around the French ambassador in recent days. Will Kate be able to reach a conclusion as to who the killer is before she becomes his next victim? j'espère bien! (I hope so!) In her latest book, FORMULA FOR MURDER: A Maternal Instinct Mystery, author Diana Orgain once again takes her readers on a fast trip to Mommyland, and you'd better buckle up, cause when Kate Connolly is on the job, it's guaranteed to be not only a bumpy ride, but a thrilling one as well. Its fun to see how baby Laurie is growing and how Kate and Jim are adjusting to parenthood. (Can't wait to see how they handle those terrible twos!) Orgain bring a fresh, light- hearted flavor to this mystery series that will charm readers and keep them coming back for more.
