Synopsis
A Special Collection of three novels in the series that critics describe as “A fun, fast, cozy read that will keep its readers entertained and anxiously awaiting the next installment. A must-read.”
This omnibus edition includes THREE books in the best-selling Maternal Instincts Mystery series and is nearly 1000 pages of murder, thrills and laughs.
A DEATHLY RATTLE (Book 7) Private detective and new mom, Kate Connolly, is no stranger to solving crimes with a baby on her hip. But in just a few months, she'll have three babies, and her to-do list has never been longer.
When someone shoots rival PI Vicente Domingo, Kate jumps to take the case. Is the would-be murderer someone Vicente's been investigating recently? Or does it have something to do with a shadowy secret from Vicente's past?
Can Kate crack the case before the would-be murderer comes back to finish the job—or before her mom decorates the twins' new room in the world's worst nursery theme while Kate's not looking?
ROCKABYE MURDER (Book 8) There's murder on the dance floor—literally.
All Kate was supposed to do at this swing-dance lesson was master the triple step, which seemed like a breeze . . . when she wasn't pregnant with twins. But now a dead body has lindy-hopped its way off the studio's roof, clutching a cryptic note with a dire warning: if the studio goes ahead with the upcoming 1950s-themed benefit dance, one of the attendees will die on the dance floor.
Kate's got a case to solve and the clock is ticking, but her favorite babysitter is MIA. Can she solve the case before the killer strikes again?
To do:
1. Help Mom's boyfriend shop for engagement rings.
2. Learn how to do the Charleston without falling on my face.
3. Buy even more diapers.
4. Solve a murder—fast.
PRAMS AND POISON (Book 9) The only constant is . . . murder.
When Kate's best friend Paula is hired to renovate one of San Francisco's famous Victorian-style “painted ladies,” it seems like the gig of a lifetime. But when a stiletto-brandishing tenant chases Kate and Paula off the front steps, it quickly becomes clear that finding the perfect paint swatches is going to be the easy part. And that's before a skeleton in a Victorian-era gown tumbles out of the attic.
Kate knows she has to take the case . . . but what's she supposed to do with nine-month-old Laurie now that her main babysitter's found a new job? Her mom hasn't been much help since she's started juggling a string of dates with two men—her boyfriend who wants to propose and an ex who's back to sweep her off her feet.
Can Kate solve her most complicated case yet between interviewing new nannies and overseeing her own convoluted garage-turned-nursery renovation? Or will all this change be the death of her blooming PI career?
To do:
1. Find the perfect nanny.
2. Write a thank-you note to Mom's ex-boyfriend. (Weird.)
3. Research electricians to make sure the next one won't light the house on fire.
4. Crack the case.
