Book Description:

Mac Faraday’s plan to spend a quiet weekend home alone with his lady love, Archie Monday, is shattered by murder.

A middle-aged couple are brutally murdered in their summer place on Deep Creek Lake. To any other detective, the case would be considered open and shut when it appears as if one of the victims has written her killer’s name in her blood—not so for Mac Faraday, who believes there is more to this case than meets the eye.

In Lauren Carr’s latest Mac Faraday Mystery former child-star and teen-idol Lenny Frost steps into a pub in Deep Creek Lake to see his face on the television over the bar with the announcement that he’s wanted for the murder of his agent and her husband!

How does Lenny Frost react to this sudden comeback into the headlines? He takes everyone hostage and gives Mac Faraday twelve hours to find the real killer or he’s going to kill everyone in the bar.

Will it be a fatal last call at midnight?

Review By LAWonder10:

Derek, a spoiled, privileged son of a retired famous talent agent, came to the vacation home of his parents, to stay with them for a while. After briefly conversing with a couple of neighbors, went inside briefly then screamed and ran back outside distraught. Trying to understand, the neighbor man went inside, quickly returning exclaiming the parents inside were dead.

Mac Faraday and Archie were enjoying a weekend without Gnarly. After a disturbing conversation with Archie, his “special weekend” came to an abrupt halt with a call from David, needing assistance at a murder scene

In this saga of the Mac Faraday Mystery series, different scenarios are occurring but are so precisely written, that they are all very enjoyable and easily followed.

Mac is battling within himself to define his commitment and relationship with his fiance, Archie.

What seems to be a “cut and dried” murder case gets increasingly complicated.

A “person of interest” and former celebrity creates a bizarre situation.

The FBI becomes involved and much more.

The suspense and mystery keep increasing throughout the book, with sidelines of humor, further antics of Gnarly, and Mac’s search to get in touch with his innermost feelings.

Lauren Carr is a “master” at building suspense and mystery within each book, and still creates real feelings of everyday life and struggles most individuals deal with. In addition, she always adds humor and a little romance to complete her masterpieces.

I first read this book, then listened to the audiobook, performed by James C. Lewis. He did a very good job in bringing the story to life with consistency in his performance of several different human interactions. It was a challenge he successfully completed.

I offer a Five Stars rating for this book and for the Narrator.

*This audiobook was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.

  If you haven’t had the chance yet, listen to the whole series! Although they each can be read as a stand-alone, it is so much more enjoyable when you know the background foundation and situations.
  Thank you for your comment Bea
