I always thought being a stay-at-home-mom would be idyllic. Apparently, real life has other plans.

I wish I could Live-Laugh-Love, but my home is more amateur detective agency than residential bliss. These grade-school kids are tied up in all sorts of things; grand theft auto, stashing hot product, and fraud, and it's up to me to untangle their mess and try to push to make better life choices.

My husband is frustrating in his own right. Sure, he tries to help, and he means well. But we all know who really pulls the strings around here. If only I weren't so overworked and underqualified, we might have a fighting chance to get ahead of these kiddy crimes.

The Mac Jones Story Collection #3 is a book of five short stories and novelettes in The Mommy Mysteries series. This hilarious series features a stay-at-home mom who runs her home like a detective agency. Spoiler: her kids are almost always the bad guys! These quick reads are perfect for binging in the school pick up line, during naptime, or whenever you just need a half hour to yourself.
