A Mysterious Review of …
Mother's Day Out by Karen MacInerney. A Margie Peterson Mystery.
Review summary: This is a fast-reading, breezy, and at times really quite funny mystery, which is far more about an engaging character than a plot that tends to rely on an overly complicated sequence of twists and turns. (Click here for text of full review.)

Karen MacInerney
A Margie Peterson Mystery
Karen MacInerney (June 2012)
Publisher synopsis: Life is pretty typical for stay-at-home mom Margie Peterson. She's got a peanut-butter-covered wardrobe, an attorney husband who's always at the office, and a mother-in-law who keeps slipping her books like "Sex Secrets of Happy Wives." Then she lands a part-time job at a seedy P.I. firm — and her humdrum suburban life is turned upside-down.
By the end of her first day, Margie's totaled her minivan, submitted a picture of a naked man in Saran Wrap to the school newsletter, and accidentally participated in a drag queen contest. When she finds a dead transvestite in the “Princesses’” room of a gay bar, she decides it may be time to hang up her hat and start planning Tupperware parties. Then she picks up the drag queen’s phone … and discovers the last call the dead man made was to Margie’s own house.
