A virtual talk with Nina Simon Author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night
VIRTUAL | After the event date, watch the talk any time through Library Speakers Consortium
Nina Simon chats about Mother-Daughter Murder Night, a lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths. Mother-Daughter Murder Night follows high-powered business woman Lana Rubicon who finds herself trapped 300 miles north of L.A., convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack. Lana's hoping that boredom won’t kill her before her cancer does when in a turn of events, Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking and she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide.
With Jack and Beth’s help, Lana uncovers a web of lies, family vendettas, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory, the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they’ve always resisted: depend on each other.
Nina Simon writes crime fiction about strong women. Mother-Daughter Murder Night is Nina’s first novel. She wrote it as a love letter to her mother, as a way to entertain, comfort, and connect with her during a major health crisis. This big-hearted whodunnit is a Reese's Book Club pick and a "best of 2023" selection for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, CrimeReads, and LibraryJournal.
Before turning to fiction, Nina wore many hats: NASA engineer, slam poet, game designer, museum director, and nonprofit CEO. Her work on community participation in museums, libraries, parks, and theaters has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NPR, and the TEDx stage.
