Death Gets a Time-Out by Ayelet Waldman

zilfworks's review against another edition

3.0

Ayelet Waldman's "Mommy Track" books are one of my favorite mystery series. I enjoy her sense of humor, I completely identify with her heroine's challenges mixing young children and a demanding, non-9-to-5 career, and I love that the books are set in Los Angeles, some in my very neighborhood, with frequent references to places with which I'm quite familiar. There's nothing very deep here, but for a fun, fast read, I'm hooked. This book wasn't my favorite of the bunch (the end seemed a bit more convoluted than necessary, thus the three-star rating instead of the 4 or 4+ I'd usually give her books), but I definitely enjoyed it, and will move on quickly to the next book in the series. I just hopes she writes more soon, since I've only got two left.
