A short cozy mystery from the author of "The Bad Mommy Diaries". It stars Amy, a frazzled mom of four, facing homeschooling of her three younger children - 1st through 9th graders. The husband is also home, sequestered in Amy's home office. Then the college freshman comes home in tears after having to leaving school and her main squeeze. Amy observes the neighbor doing clandestine activity in his back yard and her imagination runs off in so many different directions. Was it murder? If so, whose?

The story is short, sweet and hilarious. It was a perfect diversion during these difficult COVID-19 days of sheltering in place. ( )
