Critics Review

“In this new series Jennings succeeds equally well in depicting a closed culture with vivid detail. Her prose has its own quiet rhythm that immerses the reader in the story. I cant wait to see what adventures await Christine in the second installment of this promising series. ” – Reviewing The Evidence, January 2007. “She blends the professional and personal in deft, balanced fashion, brings her murderous plotting to a reasonable if not entirely unexpected conclusion, and along the way makes both the geography andthe people vividly real. … Does Your Mother Know? is a page-turning introduction to Christine Morris in the 21st.” – Joan Barfoot “Jennings makes the most of Morris’s conflicted history and current dilemma. As always, she’s brilliant at the small details that give a setting life, and a dollop of potential romance with a handsome Scottish cop works nicely.” – Margaret Cannon “… the writing is easy, light, wryly humorous. The action is quick-paced, the plot just complex enough.” – Joanne Sasvari “Jennings’ tale is a clever, progressively complex one.” – Mike Gillespie “… the sense of place and how that setting is integrated into each character’s soul is Jennings at her best.”
