[LISTENED TO: December 2024] Mother-Daughter Murder Night
This was described as Gilmore Girls meets mystery novel.
And while I want to be clear that in no way was it Gilmore Girls related, it had a Gilmore Girls vibe. Three generations of women living together (out of necessity) working together to solve a mystery.
The grandmother is Lana Rubicon (terrible name). She has created a real estate empire. I enjoy that she is a strong and powerful woman who had been pushed down but fought back and built her own fortune. But she’s also cold and distant–especially to her daughter, Beth.
The plot moves on when Lana is diagnosed with cancer and has to move in with Beth and Beth’s daughter.
Like Gilmore Girls, Beth was impregnated when she was a teenager. She decided to keep the baby and move out. But she moved into a property that Lana owned in a waterfront community.
Lana thinks she’ll be back home pretty quickly but she winds up in worse shape and needs to be there for a a lot longer than she imagined. Beth and Lana are quite antagonistic. But Lana and Beth’s daughter Jack get along pretty well. (more…)
