It's all about Mac Faraday!
Old Loves Die Hard…and in the worst
places.
In Old Loves Die Hard, Lauren Carr
continues the rags-to-riches story of Mac Faraday, an underpaid homicide
detective who inherits two-hundred-and-seventy million dollars and an estate on
Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, from his birth mother on the day his divorce becomes
final.
Mac is settling nicely into his new
life at Spencer Manor when his ex-wife Christine shows up—and she wants him
back! Before Mac can send her packing, Christine and her estranged lover are
murdered in Mac’s private penthouse suite at the Spencer Inn, the five-star
resort built by his ancestors.
The investigation leads to the
discovery of cases files for some of Mac’s murder cases in the room of the man
responsible for destroying his marriage. Why would his ex-wife’s lover come to
Spencer to dig into Mac’s old cases?
With the help of his new friends on
Deep Creek Lake, Mac must use all of his detective skills to clear his name and
the Spencer Inn’s reputation, before its five-stars—and more bodies—start
dropping!
"With it's tight plot,
well-crafted and believable characters, and complex mystery, It's Murder, My
Son is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I look forward to many more Mac Faraday
mysteries." John J. Lamb, author of
the Bear Collector Mysteries
"A most unusual and surprising
plot, intriguing characters, snappy dialogue, great settings and a dog named
Gnarly are the prime ingredients in Lauren Carr's terrific new mystery, It's
Murder, My Son." F.M. Meredith, author of An Axe to Grind
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 secret
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 her new
lakefront home in Spencer, Maryland, multi-millionaire 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.
Question:
What do you get the man with everything?
Answer: When
that man is the heir of the late mystery writer Robin Spencer, retired homicide
detective Mac Faraday, you get him cold case to solve.
In Shades of Murder, Mac Faraday is once
again the heir to an unbelievable fortune. This time the benefactor is a stolen
art collector. But this isn’t just any stolen work-of-art—it’s a masterpiece
with a murder attached to it.
Ilysa Ramsay
was in the midst of taking the art world by storm with her artistic genius.
Hours after unveiling her latest masterpiece—she is found dead in her Deep
Creek Lake studio—and her painting is nowhere to be found.
Almost a
decade later, the long lost Ilysa Ramsay masterpiece has found its way into Mac
Faraday’s hands and he can’t resist the urge to delve into the case.
A world away,
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; former JAG lawyer Joshua Thornton agrees to do a
favor for the last person he would ever expect to do a favor—a convicted serial
killer.
The Favor:
Solve the one murder wrongly attributed to him.
Joshua finds an unexpected ally in Cameron
Gates, a spunky detective who has reason to believe the young woman known to
the media only as Jane Doe, Victim Number Four, was the victim of a copycat.
Together, Joshua and Cameron set out to light a flame under the cold case only
to find that someone behind the scenes wants the case to remain cold, and is
willing to kill to keep it that way.
Little do
these detectives know that the paths of their respective cases are on a
collision course when they follow the clues to bring them together in a
showdown with a killer who’s got a talent for murder!

these books are in re-release.
Lauren is also the author of the Mac Faraday Mysteries, which
takes place in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. The first two books in her series, It’s Murder, My Son and Old Loves Die Hard have been getting
rave reviews from readers and reviewers. The next book in this series, Shades of Murder, will be released May
2012. This will be Lauren’s fifth mystery.
Lauren’s sixth book,
Dead on Ice, will be released in Fall 2012. Dead on Ice will introduce a new series entitled Lovers in Crime,
in which Joshua Thornton will join forces with homicide detective Cameron
Gates.
The owner of Acorn Book Services, Lauren is also a publishing
manager, consultant, editor, cover and layout designer, and marketing agent for
