ⓘ About Lauren Carr
Heralding the second installment in the Joshua Thornton mysteries, this book was first published on the 1st of June, 2007. Bringing in a new case, it went about taking the series forwards providing further arcs and developments for the characters within. It also managed to convey a somewhat different tone with Carr’s now far more maturer voice than what came previously. Still set in West Virginia, in the small town of Chester, the series this time shows Thornton investigating the case involving an old school friend who apparently committed suicide years ago. Teenagers still, Tricia Wheeler had killed herself following a breakup with her boyfriend, but the circumstances seem somewhat suspicious. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of A Sam MacKade PI Mystery Books series, Lauren Carr has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
