I practically read these books in backwards order, but it really didn't matter. Again, loved the Juliet and her outlook on life. The story was interesting because it dealt with Hasidic Jews, but wasn't my favorite compared to the other more fun subjects. Ok yeah, they all are about murder, but this one was more sad.

I took this book with me over Thanksgiving vacation. It was a great refuge from the noise and chaos of the family. I loved Juliet and her little family. I wish I had a friend like her. The mystery was interesting, plus it featured lots of well-drawn supporting characters. I will definitely pick up more books by Ms. Waldman.

Looking strictly at how the clues are presented and what leads Juliet choses to follow, The Big Nap is structurally similar to [b:Hold The Cream Cheese, Kill The Lox|161509|Hold The Cream Cheese, Kill The Lox (Ruby, the Rabbi's Wife, #4)|Sharon Kahn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388357500l/161509._SY75_.jpg|155874] by Sharon Kahn (2002). Both rely on lengthy, expensive travel driven by vague red herrings. In both cases, the solution is at home with a solution obvious to the attentive reader.

This is a fun series--completely off-the-wall plots but a realistic character in Juliet Applebaum, a stay-at-home mom who solves mysteries in between her hilarious and honest observations of motherhood, breastfeeding and the quirks of preschoolers.
