WINTER FROST (A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery Book 2)
"But nothing interests me more than having the Geezer Squad go into action. For those who haven't previously read their entry into this series, this is a group of retired professionals from various agencies who have formed a 'book club.' Yes, they meet to study true crime, focusing on cold cases and, in this instance, recent crimes. They are remarkable as they leverage their professional skills, expertise, and contacts to advance each case to resolution..." - 5-Star Review of WINTER FROST by Glenda Bixler, Book Reader's Heaven
"I really enjoyed book 1 of the series (A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery), Ice, and was thrilled to review book 2, Winter Frost. I love the characters (the Geezer Squad is the best) and the quirky animals! Winter Frost kicks off with an incredible twist. On the street, Chris encounters his wife... his deceased wife. The absurdity just escalates." - review at Seaside Book Nook
"I don't want to reveal too much, but this book is by far the best in the series. I didn’t see any of those curveballs coming, yet they enriched the narrative. We learn a great deal about their history, find forgiveness to move forward, and uncover a significant case filled with murders, deception, and corruption. You won't want to put this book down!" - review at Working Mommy Journal
It all began with a chance encounter in the city with Blair, his late wife. Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad, operating under the guise of a book club, delve 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 pursued 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 informed him that Blair, the mother of his children, had been killed when she was actually alive. What had she discovered that made her a target? Who instilled such terror in her that she went into hiding, and why are they now after him? This gripping narrative continues to showcase the brilliance of Lauren Carr's mystery novels, particularly through the engaging dynamics of the Geezer Squad mysteries.
THE LAST THING SHE SAID (A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery Book 3)
"The Last Thing She Said not only serves as the title of the missing author's book, but it also refers to Mercedes getting the last word in a decades-old mystery." - 5-Star Review by Amy Wilson at Novel's Alive
"Well, what can I say? This is another 5-star page-turner in the Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery series.... The mystery in this one is what happened to Mercedes, and once again I was left reeling trying to figure it out for myself. Needless to say, I didn't.... I really enjoyed reading every minute. A mystery for the whole family and the Geezer Squad, of course!" - 5-Star Review of The Last Thing She Said (A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery) by Leanne Bookstagram
"With The Last Thing She Said, piece by piece, Lauren Carr hands readers loose threads that quickly heap into a snarled mess of plots and people and perpetrators that seem impossible to sort out. But fear not! The mess becomes gloriously untangled with lots of a-ha moments, some laughs, a little sizzle, and satisfaction getting to the end." - Review by Kristine Halls, Hallways Blog

Watch out! The clues are getting hot!
