In
The Adventures of Mom
, we meet the lovable Natalie Quill-mom, would-be famous writer, and overzealous supersleuth. The thirty-eight-year-old worries she's done nothing remarkable with her life. She's a decent wife and mother, but that's not enough for this feisty homemaker with a big mouth and a knack for getting into trouble. After Natalie decides the only solution to her drab life is to become a mystery writer, she needs inspiration for her work and blackmails her slimy halfbrother into a job at his private investigation office. Soon, Natalie's life is upended as her new career turns into much more than she bargained for.
In her own delightful direct manner, Natalie charges through her first cases, including the disappearance of her neighbor's amorous dachshund, the mystery of a United States Senator's missing daughter, and the entrapment of a cheating husband. But Natalie learns that private-eye work is actually a dangerous business. Natalie's loudmouthed attitude is nearly silenced when one case turns into a potentially deadly encounter. Could this be the end of Natalie Quill, or will she live to write her bestseller after all?
