Review/Giveaway: Bundle of Trouble

Pin It

Has it really been almost 2 and a half years since I had a newborn? Those foggy groggy days of too little sleep seem like yesterday! So I could certainly relate to Kate's new-mommy issues in Bundle of Trouble (A Maternal Instincts Mystery).

The Storyline

New mom Kate is planning to enjoy her maternity leave and isn't too excited about returning to her office job. But her plans take an unexpected turn when she gets a phone call about a body pulled from San Francisco Bay that might be her brother-in-law.

As she works to connect the dots in this ever-twisting case, she uncovers unknown talents that just might lead to the perfect work-from-home job - as a private investigator.

My Review

If you're looking for a clean, fun mystery, this is a book for you! The underlying new-mom issues really make this a humorous and entertaining story. I can so identify the pants that don't button, the torn emotions when separated from my baby, and the To Do lists! Yep - Kate is definitely a soul-sister of mine with her lists - the ones that make you feel organized and in control even though nothing seems to get crossed off. And are oh so essential to the new-mommy foggy state of mind, especially when trying to solve a murder case!

The book is an easy-to-read page-turner, and there is a well-rounded mystery plot. Like all great mysteries, I didn't guess the villain until the end, but when I did, it was an "of course!" moment.
