" Winter Frost delivers another well-developed mystery featuring Matheson and the Geezer Squad. It's packed with plenty of twists and turns leading to an explosive conclusion." 5-Star Review by Amy Wilson at Novels Alive "This is Carr's absolute best, in my opinion. Her move into espionage, terrorism, which reaches all the way into Congress...Carr's creativity to expand beyond where she has been before and this book proves her continued growth, in already being a best-seller author. And, if you haven't read her books yet...let me just say she writes multi-genre books that include suspense, action, thrills...and a whole lot of humor ... Obviously, she's a top favorite for me and this book has to be placed at the top of my personal favorites!" 5-Star Review of Winter Frost by Glenda Bixler, Book Reader's Heaven "This is a novel that grabs your attention from the first page, and twists around and around while you wonder what is going on. What does Daniel Cross, nominated to lead the CIA know about it? As more people die, leads take Chris and the Geezer Squad in several different directions. All lead to still more suspects. Someone had to help Blair disappear. Someone else is watching them. What secret was she hiding? Who would kill to keep that secret hidden? Where it leads is as complicated as it is captivating. It's a terrific thriller!" Review by Merry Citarella, Mystery Suspense Reviews "Everything I've come to expect from Lauren Carr's mysteries are in this book. Lovable animal characters that add humor and comic relief, strong women who take action (Oh Doris, you are one heck of a grandma!) and corrupt government officials. And yes, we cannot forget the Geezer Squad, Carr's newest set of characters that bring a new meaning to the word retirement. These books are addictive and I always look forward to reading the next one in the series because I now know all the set of characters from all the series. If you're looking for a fun mystery series full of action and great characters, you've got to introduce your reader self to the world of Lauren Carr." Review by Laura Fabiani, Library of Clean Reads "Single father and retired FBI Agent Chris Matheson recently joined the Geezer Squad, a group of retired experts acting as a book club who help solve cold case files. This time around, they find themselves investigating a member of their own. "Chris is a likable character, a tough guy with a tender heart that goes very soft at times, especially with his daughters. The members of the Geezer Squad are hilarious; made up of a retired set of experts with a broad and impressive skill set, they form a club that no one wants to mess with. The cast of secondary characters adds to the storyline with personality and spirit, leaving space for not a single dull moment. The air of mystery surrounding Murphy make him particularly interesting. "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." 4-Star Review of Winter Frost by The iRead Review "I really enjoyed book 1 of the series (A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery), Ice, and was excited to review book 2, Winter Frost.
