#1 Christine Morris
As I’ve mentioned before, Jennings, now a Canadian citizen, is the author of the Detective Murdoch mystery series on which the popular CBC television series is based.
Does Your Mother Know is the first in a series featuring Christine Morris, a forensic profiler with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Toronto, Canada. In this debut, Christine is on leave in Scotland, investigating the disappearance of her estranged mother, who has been involved in a “vehicular homicide”.
Decent, but not outstanding or particularly memorable.
3½ stars

A quick, entertaining read. Loved the setting and plot, my only complaint would be that the characters were a bit two dimensional. But liked it enough that I'll probably read the next one.

I really loved this book, the first in a series...the lead character is very engaging and the mystery has lots of twists and turns. What really makes this book so good is its complex characters - they all have so much depth. I really admire Ms. Jennings's ability to capture the feel of a small town and those who inhabit it.

I stayed up too late to finish this one. They reeled me in with all the Gaelic talk & odd family tree in a small community happenings. A solid first start for this character + series - although I have to admit I found some of the flashbacks to be a bit contrived. I liked the first person POV & that she gave a good sense of location/environment without going on at great length about the peat. Oh goodness, the peat!
