5-STAR REVIEW: THE PRIME SUSPECT by Lauren Carr

A Sam MacKade PI Mystery: Book 1
Publication Date: October 20, 2023

​Two murders with one common denominator. Both victims betrayed Bryce Greyson. How could she not be the prime suspect?

Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater.

Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name.

Enter Sam MacKade, private eye.
​
To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true prime suspect.

Where do you draw the line between coincidence and pattern? For Bryce Greyson, being connected to two dead bodies is enough to put a target on her back.

Author Lauren Carr delivers an action-packed mystery in The Prime Suspect. Bryce teams up with private investigator Sam MacKade and his canine companions to clear her name.

The helpful guide to the characters at the beginning of the book provides a good introduction, allowing readers to get a sense of each character’s motivation.

Adding the canine component, along with a cat cameo, serves up plenty of laughter. This is also true to Carr’s reputation of serving up a good mystery with a mix of humor and romance.

With the print version coming in at 534 pages, the author delivers plenty of entertaining twists and turns leading up to the surprise ending.

The Prime Suspect introduces MacKade as the author’s newest addition to an already impressive lineup of sleuths, leaving readers ready for more.
