“Filled with twists and turns, Winter Frost reads perfectly well as a stand-alone, although it is part of a series. The author creates tension and suspense throughout by keeping the reader guessing; she keeps readers engaged with well fleshed out characters and a dash of humor. Sterling, the retired German Shepherd police dog turned card shark, is a new favorite. As the story flows, the truth unfolds, layer by layer, leading to a satisfying conclusion.“Winter Frost was an entertaining, at times humorous read with suspense, some surprises, and even cute animals in the mix.” Review of Winter Frost by The iRead Review

Book Description:
​It all started with a chance encounter in the city with Blair, his late wife.

Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad, working under the guise of a book club, dig into the events surrounding his late wife’s supposed death halfway around the globe. A state department employee shoots himself in the back three times. A CIA operative goes missing. A woman is targeted by an international assassin three years after being declared dead in a terrorist attack overseas. 

Nothing is as it seems. 

In his most personal cold case, Chris fights to uncover why the state department told him that Blair, the mother of his children, had been killed when she was alive. What had she uncovered that has made her a target? Who terrified her so much that she had gone into hiding and why are they now after him?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Winter Frost starts of with Chris Matheson finding the shock of his life, running into the wife he thought he lost three years ago. What? Are you kidding? I’m afraid not. She is alive and about to be murdered, had Chris not taken out the man with the gun. And after this beginning, I couldn’t put this book down. Lauren Carr does it again, gives her readers another cozy mystery series with a different lead character I have already grown to love. And now I feel bad for him because, well, when you have a run-in with the wife you buried 3 years ago, all kinds of things happen.

With Chris now a murderer for shooting the guy about to take out his wife, this investigation is too much for anyone except the great and wonderful Geezer Squad book club, which is not really a book club. The Geezer Squad dives head over hills into the case, with the help of their retired canines by their side. Lauren Carr is on top of it with creating characters who are so realistic, it really feels like talking to old friends. Add to that, Ms. Carr had to do some extensive research to write the debth of the characters, the amount of training each have, and just everything about this Geezer Squad. And twists and turns, well don’t think you have the mystery solved because Carr will throw a nail in there that will keep you guessing. Of course I had to go back and re-read parts that were so good that I wanted to grab all of the good stuff.

And the furry friends, including the rabbit, Thor, are top notch. I keep looking around for Sterling, my favorite funny guy and the others, only to find my one inside cat and four outside cats. I love how Lauren writes animals into her stories. Just one more thing that makes it all so real and natural.

I can say so much about this book, but the more I saw the more I will give away, and I don’t like that. I will say, if you enjoy a good clean cozy mystery that will have you biting your nails one minute and laughing you heart out the next, you just have to try Winter Frost. And if you like this one, there are three more in the series to read right now, and more coming. If you have not read a Lauren Carr book, now is your chance.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
