Críticas:

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.

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.

--Joan Barfoot "The London Free Press "

Jennings' tale is a clever, progressively complex one.

--Mike Gillespie "The Ottawa Citizen "

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

--Joanne Sasvari "The Calgary Herald "

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 Globe and Mail "

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

--The Hamilton Spectator

Reseña del editor:

Canadian forensic profiler Christine Morris is called away from a police methodology conference in Edinburgh by the police from the Outer Hebrides, who inform her that her estranged mother has been involved in a vehicular homicide and is missing. Christine's arrival there is followed by the suspicious death of one of the islanders. What unfolds is a deepening involvement in the life of the community, an unexpected reconnection with her mother, and a nefarious plot against one of the young princes, who is planning a visit to the island.
