It's Murder, My Son - Lauren Carr, Author

It’s Murder, My Son – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

clock. Almost nine. Could Chad have decided to come out when I

mentioned my appointment with the divorce lawyer? Maybe he does love my

money more than he loves Rachel. She listened. Nothing except the

wind signaling the blizzard’s approach. Maybe I should call… Continue

This book is dynamic and frighteningly believable, full of complex plot twists and sinister… Continue

New Review.

New Review.

'Bloody Ham offers an entertaining combination of an old-fashioned whodunit with characters who are fun to meet. It seems everyone on the film set has something to hide and the side threads are as entertaining as the main, twist-filled plot. In short, the book is delightful and recommended to fans of cosies and traditional mysteries'
