Chris Crossed Murder

Lauren Carr is among my favorite mystery writers. She knows how to write a fun tale while keeping readers engaged. I was excited to have the opportunity to read her newest release to her A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery series, Chris Crossed Murder. I was far from being disappointed. It was great catching up with Chris, his family, friends and his country and western music loving sidekick, Sterling. Oh my goodness that Sterling, the German Shepherd, steals the show in every book in the series. He really cracks me up.

Chris Crossed Murder starts off in Charlotteville, Virginia where a young girl, Sky, has been missing for seven months. Then, during a helicopter flight lesson, a bullet ridden body was found hanging in the trees. Upon examination of the body, it contained identification for Chris Matheson. However, Chris was found alive by a swat team in a motel room in Kentucky with Sterling and his daughter, recovering from an accident with a horse. It did have a lot going on in the beginning but as the events unfold, everything ties into one another nicely. I loved how Ms Carr’s imagination was able to come up with such a believable story. I was intrigued with this mystery and the build up of the suspense kept me interested. With the mystery, action, danger and adventure, there were still plenty of laughs and comraderies between the family and friends involved. I loved every single page that I could not put down.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of Chris Crossed Murder. I enjoyed hearing the narrator Mike Alger's voice. His performance was a perfect addition to the story.

I would give Chris Crossed Murder one hundred stars if I could. I believe readers who enjoy reading well written and clean cozy mysteries will most definitely want to read it. I have no doubt they will enjoy it as much as I did. The fifth installment from A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery series is on my radar for when it releases.

I received a digital advanced reader copy of Chris Crossed Murder from the author for review purposes but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

Great New Chris Matheson Book By Lauren Carr.

This Story Got Deep. It had some good twists in it. Absolutely loved this book 📙

Hooked me from the get-go!

I’ve read other mysteries by this author, but this is the first I’ve read (listened to) in the Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery series. Even though this is the fourth in the series, I had no trouble at all following along or becoming totally absorbed. Chris Crossed Murder hooked me from the get-go, and I found it difficult to put it down!

There are so many intriguing characters in this story, and the Geezer Squad is quite inventive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery, suspense, danger, and bits of humor. This story is plausible, fast-paced, and kept me guessing. Just what a reader wants and expects in a murder mystery!

Audio Narration: Mike Alger’s voice is crisp and pleasant, and fitting for this genre. I wasn’t distracted by the fluctuating tones used for varying characters—even the female interpretations.

Audio Production Quality: The production quality of this audiobook is clear with no distracting noises. I like how the opening music set the tone for the story.

Overall Opinion: Chris Crossed Murder is a plausible, fast-paced story that kept me guessing. Just what I hope for in a murder mystery. I enjoyed this audio version (as well as the book) and look forward to more of Ms. Carr’s stories and Mr. Alger’s narration.
