An excellent blend of mystery and suspense with comic relief and
romance…. Lauren has a great way of balancing this without taking away
from the story. We have well-developed characters, that you can’t help
but feel a connection to. I loved Nikki’s character but also her
connections to her hometown, her family and her lost love. – review by Working Mommy Journal

I love this cozy mystery! It is full of suspense, action packed,
fast pace with that small town feeling. I love the characters, I have to
admit, I fell in love with Elmo on the spot! I loved Nikki’s spunk and
determination. She keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire book!
And I usually try to pick up all if the clues and figure out whodunnit
but this story kept taking twist and turns that I was surprised. This is
just the type of cozy mystery I love to read. – 5-Star Review at Splashes of Joy

The Wrong Side of Murder is another wonderful cozy
mystery by author Lauren Carr. It has all the elements that draw me in –
an intelligent female lead, an equally smart boyfriend who partners to
help her, a complicated plot where clues are slowly revealed, people who
aren’t what they seem to be, comedic moments to balance the darker
ones, and several quirky pets full of personality.
It’s a wonderful book to escape into at the end of the day. And get ready to read into the wee hours as, if you’re like me, you won’t be able to stop reading until the mystery is revealed. – Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn

Book Description:
One spring morning, Jodi Gibbons got up and went to school as she did
every day. Her young life went sideways though when the police found
that her mother had been brutally killed during the night.
Twenty years later, many in Pine Grove believe Jodi got away with
murder. After all, how could she have possibly slept through her
mother’s violent death in the very next room?
After decades of silence, Jodi accepts investigative journalist Nikki
Bryant’s invitation to tell her side of the story. However, before the
interview can take place, someone silences Jodi permanently.
Now it is up to Nikki Bryant and her friends to uncover the secret that
Jodi Gibbons has been protecting—a secret someone believes it is worth
killing to keep from being revealed.
