Being a first-time mom is hard enough, but Kate Connolly is also a fledgling part-time private investigator. So when attending a new mommy club dinner cruise where one of the founders of the "Roo And Me" club is found dead, Kate jumps at the chance to try out her new P.I. skills to find the killer.

And she'll get to the investigating just as soon as she picks up some diapers for baby Laurie, drops off husband Jim's dry cleaning, and finally checks out that "Complete Idiots Guide to Private Investigating" from the library. A mother's work is never done.

But Kate is persistent and discovers that the late Helene Chambers had more than a few folks who would want to see her dead, and as Kate sifts through the long list of suspects, she soon discovers that the mommy business is a rough game in some circles. With the help of her mentor, Albert Galigani, and the support of her husband Jim, Kate is clever enough to unravel the secrets that surround the "Roo and Me" club that could lead to more mommies in trouble.

MOTHERHOOD IS MURDER, the second book in Diana Orgain's Maternal Instinct Mysteries series, is an over-the-top good time cozy mystery. With a feisty heroine, and with lots of humor, plenty of intrigue and suspense and a little baby- cooing, this novel is a delightful treat to read.
