Editorial reviews

While Christine Morris is in Edinburgh for a conference, she learns that her estranged mother is missing and a murder suspect. So begins this Canadian crime writer's well-crafted mystery. Does Your Mother Know is part of Maureen Jennings' Christine Morris Mystery series. Caroline Shaffer's performance is gifted. She handles Scottish accents with aplomb, bringing to life the already vivid characters. Her pacing is gentle and her voice both sweet and earnest. Shaffer is a breeze to listen to, even for 10 hours.

Publisher's Summary

Christine Morris has been sent to Edinburgh to attend a conference on the latest in police methodology. There she is tracked down by the Northern Constabulary, Stornoway, Outer Hebrides, who inform her that her estranged mother has been involved in a vehicular homicide and has gone missing.

Reluctantly, Christine agrees to fly up to Stornoway, where her mother was last seen. Her arrival is followed by the suspicious death of one of the islanders. What unfolds is a deepening involvement in the life of the community, an unexpected reconnection with her mother, and a nefarious plot against one of the young princes, who is planning a visit to the island.

Set against the backdrop of a breathtaking landscape and a people who are fiercely proud of their traditional way of life, Does Your Mother Know? races along to a galloping finish in this complex tale of suspense.

Immersive

fabulous narration! The island and its people really come alive. fabulous way to learn a bit of history and culture. the author obviously has a great love of the Hebrides and makes you want to plan a visit immediately.
The narrator is one of the best. Great female and male voices nevermind the formidable Scots accent.
My head is still exploding at the complicated family trees but knew I could trust the author to clear it all up.
Highly recommend

Not to bad

Found the story easy enough to listen to. The setting was formula from listening to other books. The story line had enough to keep you interested. Although some of the narration was a little annoying.
