It was a good book. I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.

I thought this was going to be a Stephanie Plum rip off but it is NOT and it was hilarious! Like shaking the bed late at night waking the husband from laughing funny! I will check out this series for sure!

This was FUN! This is what it would have been if Lucille Ball had decided to become a private investigator.
Marigold 'Margie' Peterson wants to earn some extra money. Her husband wants her to be a SAHM and join the Junior League to help him move up to partner in the law firm.
Margie finds Peaches, a private investigator, and asks for a tryout. Peaches reluctantly gives her a shot with an infidelity case. Margie gets her man, wrapped in plastic wrap, and it's pedal to the metal from there on out.
She wins points with the snooty headmistress of her children's pre-school by agreeing to look into missing school funds. And her next job leads her into getting third place in a drag queen contest.
I loved this book. I could identify with Margie's need to get out of the house and find herself again. She is more than a mother and wife and definitely more than Junior League material. She has the coolest best friend, Becky, who helps her out in more ways than one.
I do hope there will be more adventures with Margie. I love Karen MacInerney's other two series I've read, Grey Whale Inn Mystery and Tales of an Urban Werewolf, and now I can add Marigold's adventures to the mix.

Another fun read from Karen MacInerney. I have thoroughly enjoyed her Grey Whale Inn series and am glad to see a new series starting. Mother's Day Out is a fun, kitschy read full of colorful characters and a crazy murder mystery. Every time you turn the page you think, "what could go wrong next?" The answer is a lot, but MacInerney ties it all together in the end. Looking forward to the next Margie Peterson Mystery.

Margie Peterson book 1
Some very interesting characters and strange situations made for a mixed read for me. I really like Margie, so I will be trying book 2 now.
