A Carrows Murder is the tenth in the Carrows Family
Chronicles series and does not disappoint, it is a captivating mystery novel
that took me on a thrilling journey through the dark undercurrents of a
seemingly peaceful small town. The story centers around the murder of a wealthy
and influential figure, plunging the close-knit community into chaos and
suspicion.
I have done it again folks and jumped into the middle of a
series. Good news! Despite this book being part of a series, the novel provides
a complete and satisfying story on its own. The plot is self-contained, with
all major threads resolved by the end, making it possible to love this book
without having read prior books in the series.
Detective Carrow, the novel’s sharp and determined
protagonist, is tasked with untangling the complex web of relationships and
secrets that surround the victim. Lewis masterfully builds tension as Carrow
navigates the town’s intricate social dynamics, uncovering hidden motives and
long-standing grudges that kept me guessing until the very end.
The strength of the novel lies in its well-developed characters
and the rich atmosphere of the setting. The town itself feels like a character,
with its quaint façade masking the darker realities of its residents. Lewis’
attention to detail brings the town to life, creating a vivid backdrop for the
unfolding drama.
Carrow’s personal journey is another highlight of the book.
Her struggle to balance her professional duties with personal challenges adds
depth to her character and makes her relatable to a variety of readers. The
plot is expertly paced, with a mix of suspenseful moments and quieter,
introspective scenes that allow me to connect with the characters on a deeper
level.
Overall, "A Carrow’s Murder" is a compelling read
for fans of mystery and suspense. Annabelle Lewis delivers a story that is both
gripping and emotionally resonant, making it a standout in the genre.

A Crafty Plan. A Healing Sojourn. A Deadly Twister.
Royal Dutton, close friend and stylist for Charles and Angelica Carrows, has a broken heart and he’s falling to bits. Disturbed by Royal’s escalating depression and dangerous choices, the London-based Carrows family decide to distract Royal with a vacation to an English castle on the dazzling eastern shores of Yorkshire, Britain.
Well-intentioned, they plan a murder mystery using the villagers near the castle as characters who will each play a role in convincing the unsuspecting Royal that there is a murder to be solved for a real-life person.
It should have been fun.
But there are unforeseen consequences. The small town of Boswell Crag and its eccentric villagers will never be the same.
And someone . . . will not survive.
Annabelle Lewis—a pseudonym—is a Minneapolis-based, multi-genre writer, dog lover, incredible mom, and champion of the screwed over. In addition to her touching, yet oddly scathing blog posted on her website, she’s published two exciting fictional series.
The Carrows Family Chronicles are humorous and vengeful caper novels. If you’re interested in a light romp about a family of well-dressed billionaires serving yummy revenge to a string of unsuspecting bad guys who have it coming, look no further.
The second series—The Boston Clairvoyants—is also a set of good versus evil stories. These psychic mystery/thrillers have been edited so they could be read as stand-alones, but as Glinda the Good Witch says – “It’s always best to start at the beginning.” The books have a supernatural hierarchy, a wee bit of romance and mythology, and a solid sense of humor. Lovers of dogs and Dean Koontz fans will adore these books.
Annabelle typically sends out two newsletters a month—so she promises not to annoy her subscribers too much. They typically contain feverish reviews on the latest stuff she is watching or reading, links to book giveaways, contests to win a signed paperback, and book browsing for other author’s work.
Oh, and a warning. Annabelle loves to curse. And there is cursing in her books and her blogs . . . because she’s gotta keep it real.
