PRAISE FOR death gets a time-out

"Death Gets a Time-Out is arguably the best of Waldman's mysteries. It's certainly the most complex, with a dark cobweb of family dysfunction covering the whole plot. Think Chinatown, but with strollers and morning sickness."
Long Island Press


"Waldman skillfully unravels the intertwined relationships between all these characters to reveal a cunning murder plot… Waldman has an excellent ear for the snappy comeback, especially when delivered by a five-year-old."
Publisher's Weekly
