Third installment of Ayelet Waldman's Mommy Track series. This book was a more solid venture than the first two. The story was tight, reminding me of a Sue Grafton story. This one set up Juliet in a partnership with Al, so leaves us with a set up for the next book.

I enjoy this VERY short series. Since I moved to a new library system, I am able to get all of Waldman's "Mommy Track Mysteries." The books are small so they really are like short stories. The main character offers her opinion freely about subjects from gun control to parenting. Usually she is dealing with a family issue alongside a murder case. In this book, she was trying to deal with her son's obsession with guns. Quick and readable, great escape.

Juliet is one of the funniest protagonists in cozy mysteries. That wouldn't be saying all that much, but I do enjoy my visits to her snarky, judgmental, smart POV. This one was also profoundly sad.
