for an honest review
Mac Faraday returns with the
usual trouble just around the corner. Lauren Carr takes this new mystery into
the past life of Archie Monday, formally known as Kendra Douglas, who witnessed
a mob murder when she was young and has been in witness protection since. Now
the mob has found her and they aren’t going to leave her alive for a second
time. Eventually there are three murders to solve and the trouble comes trying
to link the common thread or are they unrelated. Never fear though, Mac and his
half-brother, David O’Callaghan, are on the job along with Archie and Gnarly,
the German Shepard. Archie doesn’t want to relocate so she ends up just moving
in with Mac (they were eventually going to do that anyway). David is already
living in the mansion and when Marshall Randi Finnegan ends up there also to
help protect Archie sparks fly between them. Even though there is many
different plot lines running around I didn’t feel like it was confusing, just
had me constantly wondering who did it.
The thing with Carr’s
mysteries is she always injects some good humor. I have grown to absolutely
love Gnarly. He is a stand out character and should have his own book. Another
great aspect of her mysteries is that fact that you will always be kept
guessing. You have all the clues but there are a few wrenches thrown in that
keep you from tying them together until Carr is ready for you to. I recommend
any of the Mac Faraday novels for all mystery lovers.

Thank you, Kelsey for the great review. Glad you love that bad dog Gnarly! Got to think about putting him in his own book.
