It's a Mystery to Me Book Club

Mother-Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon.

When high-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter, Beth, and teenage granddaughter, Jack, she hopes that boredom won't kill her before the cancer does.

Then Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking. She quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery, but Lana has a better idea. She'll pull on her wig, find the true murderer, protect her family, and prove she still has power.

With Jack and Beth's help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they've always resisted: depend on each other.
