MOTHER'S DAY MYSTERIES

Mother's Day: So many Mothers in Mysteries, but the following is a sampling with emphasis on the Mother's Day Holiday. If I listed all the mysteries and crime fiction with famous and infamous mothers, the list would be way too long. This is an updated list, so let me know if I've missed any titles. Be sure and scroll down to view the Psycho Trailer with one of the most famous (infamous) 'mystery' mothers!

years ago, I was watching a documentary about Bernard Herrmann's score for PSYCHO and my mother was so intrigued she asked me to get the video so she could see the whole film.
