A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery: Book 1
Publication Date: March 30, 2022
​When Sandy Lipton and her unborn child disappeared, the court of public opinion found young Chris Matheson guilty. Decades later, the retired FBI agent returns home to discover that the cloud of suspicion cast over him and his family has never lifted.
With the help of a team of fellow retired law enforcement officers, each a specialist in their own field of investigation, Chris Matheson starts chipping away at the ice on this cold case to uncover what had happened to Sandy and her baby and the clues are getting hot!
Retired FBI Agent Chris Matheson finds a new purpose when his mother suggests he join a book club attended by retired law enforcement. Little did he know that the club provided a way for the members to collaborate on cold cases.
Author Lauren Carr delivers a fresh mystery series featuring Matheson in Ice. He and the other members of the Geezer Squad delve into a 24-year-old disappearance of a pregnant woman that led to Matheson being suspected of murder.
Together, they test out theories and chase down leads. Along the way, there is room for a lot of quips. The animal element is also strong, represented by canines and a bunny.
A helpful component of Carr’s mysteries is she always includes a cast of characters with descriptions. This enables readers to get a solid grasp on key characters as well as those who play a role in the backstory.
Ice serves as the debut for a new mystery series where the Geezer Squad turns up the heat on cold cases and finds out whodunit.
