Book Review: The Prime Suspect

 

Book Description:
​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.

My Review
As a fan of mystery/thriller books, readers will want to check out author, Lauren Carr. I have read a handful of books by her and enjoyed them all. This newest book is no exception. I really like Sam and that he uses dogs, Cleo and Gus. They may have stolen part of the limelight from Sam. Lauren did a good job of showing off each of their personalities as well. 
Sam assesses every situation with a very analytical mindset. So, he may have come off a bit standoffish to those he first meets. Yet, as you get to know him better, he really does care. Thus, he shows this with helping Bryce to clear her name. 
The whole story moves at a fairly fast pace. So, you never get bored. There are twists and the ending is good. I do look forward to seeing Sam, Cleo, and Gus again.

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes. Before it is over the Mexican escapade will bring down the kind of disasters commonly found in pulp fiction. Why can’t Elizabeth stop any of this from happening?
