"When Meredith Bellefontaine and Julia Foley arrive at Magnolia Investigations for work one morning, something isn't right. Their wonderful assistant, Carmen Lopez, is missing. They only find a cryptic note stating that she'll be gone for a few days - but no explanation as to where she is going or why. Meredith and Julia are worried for their dear friend, especially when their texts and phone calls go unanswered. And when the eccentric woman who claims to be Carmen's temporary replacement begins acting suspiciously, the sleuths become even more concerned. As Meredith fights her panic over Carmen's absence, she attempts to connect with Quin's daughter, Jamie. Will Meredith be able to crack through Jamie's tough exterior and pull together a Mother's Day everyone will remember?" from the back cover
