Customer Reviews

A really great collection of short stories

The title says it all. The short stories in this book all contain, mothers, apple pie and most of all murder. I can't pick out a favorite having enjoyed them all. I recommend this book highly.

Publisher's Weekly gives rave mentions of four contributors:

The April 12th issue, page 57, in a much abridged quote: Margaret Maron's "Growth Marks"--haunting; Ed Gorman's "Mom and Dad at Home"--eerie; Angela Zeman's "Hello?"--magical; and Nancy Pickard's "Out of Africa"--poignant."...the recipes--including for Mom's Brandied Apple Babies--provide a nice bonus."
