Mom, Apple Pie, and Mayhem

Sadly, my own wonderful mother passed away almost 20 years ago, a too-young victim of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. But I returned home not long ago from a late breakfast with my in-laws, so am well aware that today is Mother’s Day in the United States. Which got me to thinking: Are there any Mother’s Day-related mysteries available? As it turns out, there are--everything from Jane Haddam’s Murder Superior (1993) and Lee Harris’ The Mother’s Day Murder (2000) to Mignon F. Ballard’s Angel at Troublesome Creek and Dorothy Cannell’s ominously titled How to Murder Your Mother-in-Law (1994).

More suggestions can be found here and here.
