X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Nothing brings a family together like a mu
 rder next door.</p>\n<p><em>Mother-Daughter Murder Night</em>&nbsp\;follow
 s&nbsp\;high-powered businesswoman Lana Rubicon. She has a lot to be proud
  of with her keen intelligence\, impeccable taste\, and the L.A. real esta
 te empire she&rsquo\;s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles
  north of the city\, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult 
 daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack\, Lana is stuck counting otte
 rs instead of square footage&mdash\;and hoping that boredom won&rsquo\;t k
 ill her before the cancer does.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>When Jack happens upon a de
 ad body while kayaking\, she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide inv
 estigation\, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana
  should focus on recovery\, but Lana has a better idea. She&rsquo\;ll pull
  on her wig\, find the true murderer\, protect her family\, and prove she 
 still has power. With Jack and Beth&rsquo\;s help\, Lana uncovers a web of
  lies\, family vendettas\, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface o
 f a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers. B
 ut as their amateur snooping advances into ever-more dangerous territory\,
  the headstrong Rubicon women must learn to do the one thing they&rsquo\;v
 e always resisted: depend on each other.</p>\n<p><em>Mother-Daughter Murde
 r Night </em>is a Reese's Book Club pick and a "best of 2023" selection fo
 r Amazon\, Barnes &amp\; Noble\,&nbsp\;<em>CrimeReads</em>\, and&nbsp\;<em

 es\, parks\, and theaters has been featured in the&nbsp\;<em>Wall Street J
 ournal</em>\, the&nbsp\;<em>New York Times</em>\,&nbsp\;NPR\, and the&nbsp
