Chris Crossed Murder

“Disguised as a book club, the self-named Geezer Squad, whose number one rule is to never talk about the squad, boasts a broad set of skills, courtesy of its members, all former law enforcement agents. They welcome Chris, recently retired from the FBI, with open arms, working with him to close numerous cold cases.”

Shadow of Murder

“Carr’s most intricate plot to date – full of twists and turns guaranteed to keep readers up until the wee hours. While still full of the humor, fun critters and touch of romance that are her trademark, the author has also woven in a dark supernatural element that whispers through to the startling ending.”

– Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn

It's Murder, My Son

“In It’s Murder, My Son, Lauren Carr has provided a complex plot with a diversity of characters that blend so well with the mystery. Lauren’s dialogue is brisk, her setting beautiful and the addition of Gnarly is very clever.  It’s Murder, My Son is a delightful read and I look forward to more of Carr’s Mac Faraday mysteries.”

The Wrong Side of Murder

The Wrong Side of Murder is another wonderful cozy mystery by author Lauren Carr. It has all the elements that draw me in – an intelligent female lead, an equally smart boyfriend who partners to help her, a complicated plot where clues are slowly revealed, people who aren’t what they seem to be, comedic moments to balance the darker ones, and several quirky pets full of personality.”

– Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn

The Last Thing She Said

“For the whodunit mystery buff who loves ever-increasing suspense and danger, Lauren Carr’s newest series offers up a big dose of both. Murder and mayhem seem to be Chris’s new companions after returning home following the loss of both his wife and his father.”

Here we go! Carr is a master storyteller who always offers a plot full of twists and turns, a bit of humor to offset the dark, and a unique cast of characters

I am, bottom line, amazed at the giant step that places Carr comparable to significant authors whose name slips off our tongues like, for instance, Nora Roberts. Watch this author--she's moving quickly to where her goals are headed.

She keeps the mystery alive and the story filled with lots of action that is so well
written it is easy to fly through the pages...having to know who did what to who and having some laughs along the way. I do love some humor with my murder.

Lots of drama, action, murder and humor. I did not want to put the book down until I had finished it.

If you're looking for a break from a more dramatic novel, pick up one of Lauren
Carr's mysteries. After reading just a few, you'll quickly become a fan. I know I am.

Warning, this one is a page-turner that will keep you up late at night even when
you should really, really be going to sleep because tomorrow will be yet another
long day.
