MY REVIEW
This may be the first book in the Mac Faraday’s mysteries, but I have met the characters before and had to know how they came together.
Gnarly…uproariously funny and lovable Gnarly. Once you meet him, you will never forget him.
Lauren Car makes it difficult to figure out the whodunit, but what a wild ride to the conclusion. No question, Lauren is a master when it comes to mystery, suspense, police procedures and romance. Characters to die for, but you have to be careful who you fall for in her novels, they may not make it to the end.
Filled with humor and a canine that’s smarter than some people, Gnarly had me totally absorbed in his hijinks. Bodies galore, and even some old murders will be solved.
Can find no fault…give me more.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of It’s Murder, My Son by Lauren Carr.
Book Description:
What started out as the worst day of Mac Faraday’s life would end up being a new beginning. After a messy divorce hearing, the last person that Mac wanted to see was another lawyer. Yet, this lawyer wore the expression of a child bursting to tell his secret. This confidence would reveal Mac as heir to undreamed of fortunes, and lead him to the birthplace of America’s Queen of Mystery and an investigation that will unfold like one of her famous mystery novels.
Soon after she moves to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, Katrina Singleton learns that life in an exclusive community is not all good. For some unknown reason, a strange man calling himself “Pay Back” begins stalking her. When Katrina is found strangled all evidence points to her terrorist, who is nowhere to be found.
Three months later, the file on her murder is still open when Mac Faraday, sole heir to his unknown birth mother’s home and fortune, moves into the estate next door. Little does he know as he drives up to Spencer Manor that he is driving into a closed gate community that is hiding more suspicious deaths than his DC workload as a homicide detective. With the help of his late mother’s journal, this retired cop puts all his detective skills to work to pick up where the local investigators have left off to follow the clues to Katrina’s executer.
Lauren Carr is the international best-selling author of the Mac Faraday, Lovers in Crime, and Thorny Rose Mysteries—over twenty titles across three fast-paced mystery series filled with twists and turns!
Now, Lauren has added one more hit series to her list with the Chris Matheson Cold Case Mysteries. Set in the quaint West Virginia town of Harpers Ferry, Ice introduces Chris Matheson, a retired FBI agent, who joins forces with other law enforcement retirees to heat up those cold cases that keep them up at night.
Book reviewers and readers alike rave about how Lauren Carr’s seamlessly crosses genres to include mystery, suspense, crime fiction, police procedurals, romance, and humor.
Lauren is a popular speaker who has made appearances at schools, youth groups, and on author panels at conventions. She lives with her husband, and three dogs on a mountain in Harpers Ferry, WV.

I have read some of the other Gnarly stories, but somehow missed the first one so I had to have it. I love your work and certainly look forward to more…a lot more…of it. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping in and saying hi!
Gnarly sounds like such a wonderful character! I love it when a character brings levity and humor to a story! Great Review Sherry!
Gnarly steals the show every time. I am a dog lover, so a character like Gnarly is always on my wish list. 🙂
I loved this too and was thrilled to actually read the first book in the series finally. Double great was that I loved it as much as the later ones!
I know, me too. Shows that Lauren Carr started out as a great writer.
