Public defender turned stay-at-home mom Juliet Applebaum's previous adventures have been praised as "compelling" (Publishers Weekly) and "entertaining" (Booklist). In A Playdate with Death, she's back in top form, investigating the mysterious death of her personal trainer in between taming tantrums, planning playdates, and playing dress up with her two rowdy kids.
