What is Mother love : a Karl Alberg mystery with Cassandra Mitchell about?

Maria Buscombe left home seven years ago. One day she was the loving wife of husband Richard, devoted mother of fourteen-year-old daughter Belinda. Then she was gone, leaving behind an angry spouse and a bewildered child. Why did she depart so abruptly? And why did she choose to live in a basement apartment isolated not only from her family but from her world? Most puzzling of all, who sent her twenty thousand dollars during each year of her exile, and why? Three lives are disrupted forever, but Richard and Belinda slowly resume their routines and begin to look to the future. Richard has his little store, the Jolly Shopper. Belinda, now a grown woman, is married and expecting a child. The memory of Maria remains as a deep pain that recedes a little with each passing day. Then Maria decides to come home. Belinda sees her mother at a distance but turns away in shock. The moment is lost, and before Maria can reestablish contact she is bludgeoned to death by a silent, knife-wielding intruder. Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg of the Canadian Mounties, detouring from a flirtation with early retirement, must retrace Maria's investigation into her past to find her killer. Who was Maria Buscombe?
