Occasionally, a murder will happen on stage. There is sexual content, but always behind closed doors. Some mild swearing (a hell or a damn few and far between). No F-bombs! " The plot is twisted. The characters are full of depth, with many hiding secrets.

Wilson, Author, Speaker, Book Reviewer, review of THE PRIME SUSPECT "Lauren Carr is among my favorite mystery writers. She...
