“Lauren spins an amazing web of lies, murder and love that will have you on the edge of your seat…I love the way Lauren spun this novel – I could not put the book down! I had to know what happened to Sandy and her unborn child and how this disappearance was tied into a string of other murders. I never saw the end coming but it was perfect and suited the novel. A definite must read novel!”5-Star Review by Carla at Working Mommy Journal

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
If you have read any of Lauren Carr’s books, you already know you are in for some of the greatest mysteries written. I am so excited about The Chris Matheson series because I believe Chris Matheson will have more instore for us than we could ever dream! Being the first book in a new series, it is pretty slow going through a little bit of it, but it is necessary because Carr is introducing us to all of her wonderful new characters. And it is very helpful that in the front of the book, Lauren has added a list of all of the characters, in the order they appear in the book. I am finding this list very helpful. But never fear, the introductions didn’t last long and the story begins.

These unpredictable and quirky characters have set the stage for what’s to come in this new series from Author Lauren Carr.
