An untaxing murder mystery set in the Hebrides with a Canadian main character. The level of involvement of the main character with the local police work wasn't entirely convincing and sometimes I found her explanations of what she'd just said or thought rather unconvincing or non-sequiturial, but overall I enjoyed the story and the descriptions of life on the Isle of Lewis. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

As I’ve mentioned before, Jennings, now a Canadian citizen, is the author of the Detective Murdoch mystery series on which the popular CBC television series is based.
Does Your Mother Know is the first in a series featuring Christine Morris, a forensic profiler with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Toronto, Canada. In this debut, Christine is on leave in Scotland, investigating the disappearance of her estranged mother, who has been involved in a “vehicular homicide”.
Decent, but not outstanding or particularly memorable.
