Review

A thick and satisfying, Twofer Murder marks the coming together of a lot of characters which, although a little confusing for new readers (or fans needing a bit of a refresher), is handled in such a way by author Lauren Carr that only a few moments, early on in the book, required me to pause and go back to figure out what was going on.

The twisted, convoluted (in a good way) plot comes with an ending that is satisfying but also thought-provoking.  Questions that arise include the role of each parent in raising a good child, the nature of lying, and the boundaries a community should (or should not) respect when it comes to protecting one’s own.

As is typical to Carr, there is a lot of extra material in Twofer Murder that add weight to the book—but in a good way.  As always, picking up a Carr isn’t just about figuring out the underlying mystery; rather, it’s about beginning or building your relationship with each character.  Carr demonstrates a great understanding of human nature by taking the time to help readers get to know each character by creating situations and delving into conversations that the case itself might not benefit from, but the reading experience certainly does.

This is why the fact that she brings together the main characters from not one, not two, but three of her successful series—Mac Faraday, Lovers in Crime, and Thorny Rose mysteries—is going to be no doubt very well received by her fans and whet their appetite for all future titles she is no doubt going to be releasing.
