Reviews and comments on
Does Your Mother Know?

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 and the people vividly real. ... Does Your Mother Know? is a page-turning introduction to Christine Morris in the 21st.

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.

... the writing is easy, light, wryly humorous. The action is quick-paced, the plot just complex enough.

Jennings' tale is a clever, progressively complex one.

... the sense of place and how that setting is integrated into each character's soul is Jennings at her best.

The Hamilton Spectator

What Jennings does best is characterization and the people of Stornoway … come off here as real folks with real feelings and problems. Morris herself has the makings of a good continuing main character.
