Ayelet Waldman has given birth to a fresh new franchise with her Mommy-Track Mysteries. Juliet Applebaum is smart, fearless, and completely candid… Kinsey Millhone would approve. (Sue Grafton)

Funny, clever, touching, original, wacky and wildly successful. (Carolyn G. Hart)

Humorous… Juliet’s voice is strong and appealing. (Publisher Weekly)

Unique. (Tribune-Review Pittsburgh, PA)
