From Publishers Weekly
In Meier's fizzy 15th holiday-themed cozy (after 2008's St. Patrick's Day Murder), reporter Lucy Stone, of Tinker's Cove, Maine, knows that the victim of a shooting murder, Tina Nowak, was feuding with Barbara Bar Hume over the popularity of their respective 16-year-old daughters, Heather and Ashley. Tinker's Cove is still reeling from the disappearance 10 months earlier of a teen youth counselor, and Bar's arrest is almost as shocking. In digging for answers regarding the alleged killer mom, Lucy uncovers some icky revelations about Bart Hume, Bar's philandering cardiac surgeon husband. Meier's mix of family concerns and mystery turns darker than usual after Bart's mistress is killed in a suspicious car accident, and Lucy and Sara, Lucy's high school freshman daughter, are caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Along the way, Lucy must also deal with fears about Sara's first prom date and the sleepless nights all moms must face. (Apr.)

My First Lucy Stone Mystery,
This review is from: Mother's Day Murder (Lucy Stone Mysteries) (Hardcover)
MOTHER'S DAY MURDER is part of the Lucy Stone Mysteries. The story opens on Mother's Day. It's been ten months and Corinne Appleton is still missing. When her body turns up, evidence shows she was murdered.
In an unrelated crime, Tina Nowak is gunned down in front of her husband. Evidence points to her rival, Barbara Hume. While Lucy investigates for the "Pennysaver", the town's local newspaper, she has her hands full with her adolescent daughter. For readers who haven't experienced a Lucy Stone mystery, Meier does an excellent job with giving the reader enough background information. This is my first and I didn't feel I was missing pieces of the story. For fans, it will be like catching up with old friends. Molly and Toby are adjusting to being new parents. Elizabeth is a senior in college. Sara is starting to date and has a MySpace page and Zoe is in fifth grade and as adorable as ever. There's much going on with the Stone family as well as the rest of the folks in this small Maine community. If you love easy going mysteries with personable characters, this is a good book to settle down with.

A Believable Family,
By
This review is from: Mother's Day Murder (Lucy Stone Mysteries) (Hardcover)
I like Lucy Stone. She's not obnoxious or a know-it-all like the ones in some other cozy mysteries. Her family was very young when I first started reading these mysteries. Now 2 of them are grown and of the 2 left at home it is Sara (14) who is featured in this book.
The mother of one of her classmates is murdered and another mother is accused of the crime. Lucy happened to see the murder and is the one who calls 911. In one of the funniest lines of the book, Detective Horowitz arrives on the scene and says "Another body, Mrs. Stone?" I guess the reason I like Lucy Stone is she and her family seem real to me and reading one of these books is like visiting old friends. If this is your first Lucy Stone book, I think you'll find yourself looking for others.

Teen Aged Rebellion,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mother's Day Murder (Lucy Stone Mysteries) (Hardcover)
In this latest book of the Lucy Stone series, Lucy's daughter Sara is 15 going on 30. She is doing all the things that teen agers today are typically doing. It is truly a test for any parent.
In the mean time, Lucy is picking up bad vibes from her boss. What does it mean? Will the paper be sold? Of course she stumbles in the midst of a murder. But you will be surprised when you find out who is responsible. I like this writer because she is real. I can relate to her and her kids. She tells it like it is and we can all see a little of our own lives in her stories. You will like this latest edition to the series.
