A Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery: Book 3
Publication Date: July 22, 2019
“I’m working on the greatest mystery ever,” was the last thing noted mystery novelist Mercedes Livingston said to seven-year-old Chris Matheson before walking out of Hill House Hotel never to be seen again.
For decades, the writer’s fate remained a puzzling mystery until an autographed novel and a letter put a grown-up Chris Matheson on the trail of a cunning killer. With the help of a team of fellow retired law enforcement officers, each a specialist in their own field of investigation, Chris puts a flame to this cold case to uncover what had really happened that night Mercedes Livingston walked out of Hill House Hotel. Watch out! The clues are getting hot!
It’s time for a series cross-over for two of author Lauren Carr’s mysteries. With The Last Thing She Said, Chris Matheson and Mac Faraday join forces to solve a cold case disappearance of a famous author.
Readers familiar with Carr’s work will especially enjoy watching these powerhouses at work along with the Geezer Squad and their four-legged assistants. Aside from a twisty mystery, the author serves up plenty of humor.
As a child, Chris was one of the last people to see Mercedes Livingston. Decades later, Chris finds unexpected clues in an autographed copy of the author’s book and a letter addressed to him. The team learns that the real investigation lies in discovering who killed George Livingston, the author’s first husband.
It’s all hands on deck to solve this mystery, with help from friends and family members. The canine capers are fun, especially the new addition to the Matheson household. Details like that make the series come alive and leave readers with a smile.
The Last Thing She Said not only serves as the title of the missing author’s book, but it also refers to Mercedes getting the last word in a decades-old mystery.
Lauren Carr is the international best-selling author of the Mac Faraday, Lovers in Crime, and Thorny Rose Mysteries—over twenty titles across three fast-paced mystery series filled with twists and turns!
Book reviewers and readers alike rave about how Lauren Carr’s seamlessly crosses genres to include mystery, suspense, romance, and humor.
