Book Description:
What started out as the worst day of Mac Faraday’s life would end
up being a new beginning. After a messy divorce hearing, the last
person that Mac wanted to see was another lawyer. Yet, this lawyer
wore the expression of a child bursting to tell his secret. This
confidence would reveal Mac as heir to undreamed of fortunes, and
lead him to the birthplace of America’s Queen of Mystery and an
investigation that will unfold like one of her famous mystery
novels.
Soon after she moves to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, Katrina
Singleton learns that life in an exclusive community is not all
good. For some unknown reason, a strange man calling himself “Pay
Back” begins stalking her. When Katrina is found strangled all
evidence points to her terrorist, who is nowhere to be found.
Three months later, the file on her murder is still open when Mac Faraday, sole heir to his unknown birth mother’s home and fortune, moves into the estate next door. Little does he know as he drives up to Spencer Manor that he is driving into a closed gate community that is hiding more suspicious deaths than his DC workload as a homicide detective. With the help of his late mother’s journal, this retired cop puts all his detective skills to work to pick up where the local investigators have left off to follow the clues to Katrina’s killer.

The investigation leads to the discovery of cases files for some of Mac’s
murder cases in the room of the man responsible for destroying his
marriage. Why would his ex-wife’s lover come to Spencer to dig into Mac’s
old cases?
With the help of his new friends on Deep Creek Lake, Mac must use all of his detective skills to clear his name and the Spencer Inn’s reputation, before its five-stars—and more bodies—start dropping.
Ilysa Ramsay was in the midst of taking the art world by storm with
her artistic genius. Hours after unveiling her latest masterpiece–she
is found dead in her Deep Creek Lake studio–and her painting is
nowhere to be found. Almost a decade later,
the long-lost Ilysa Ramsay masterpiece has found its way
into Mac Faraday’s hands and he can’t resist the urge to delve into
the case.
A world away, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; former JAG lawyer Joshua
Thornton agrees to do a favor for the last person he would ever expect
to do a favor–a convicted serial killer.
The Favor: Solve the one murder wrongly attributed to him.
Joshua finds an unexpected ally in Cameron Gates, a spunky detective
who has reason to believe the young woman known to the media only as
Jane Doe, Victim Number Four, was the victim of a copycat. Together,
Joshua and Cameron (*) set out to light a flame under the cold case
only to find that someone behind the scenes wants the case to remain
cold, and is willing to kill to keep it that way.
A woman is killed when she falls down the stairs. Men die
writhing, in a little coffee shop. Death may not be that
unusual these days in Deep Creek Lake, but then someone tries to
kill Archie, the woman Mac Faraday loves.
When she tells Mac the reason behind it and her secret is
exposed, Mac and the entire police department will go to extremes to
keep Archie safe.
That raises rather a lot of questions:

Never tell Mac Faraday not to go someplace.
Spencer’s police chief, David O’Callaghan, learns this lesson the hard
way when he orders Mac to not go to the south end of Spencer’s
mountaintop —even though he owns the property. It doesn’t take long for
Mac to find out what lies on the other side of a stone wall
and locked gate with a warning for visitors to keep out.
Topping the list of the ten top haunted places in America, Astaire Castle is associated with two suicides, three mysterious disappearances, and four murders since it was built almost a century ago—and Mac Faraday owns it!
In spite of David’s warning to keep out, Mac can’t resist unlocking
the gate to see the castle that supposedly hasn’t seen a living
soul since his late mother had ordered it closed up after the double
homicide and disappearance of Damian Wagner, a world-famous master of
horror novels.
What was supposed to be a quick tour of a dusty old castle turns into another Mac Faraday adventure when Astaire Castle becomes the scene of even more murders. Mac is going to need to put all of his investigative talents to work to sort out this case that involves the strangest characters he has run into yet—including a wolfman. No, we’re not talking about Gnarly.
Three years later, after failing to catapult her notoriety
into a long-lasting celebrity, Khloe Everest returns to
Spencer upon her mother’s sudden death and seemingly finds
another weapon to propel her into the spotlight.
Unfortunately, someone kills her before she can make this
entrance.
In Lauren Carr’s sixth mystery, Mac Faraday and his friends
come up against reality stars, politicians, has-beens, and
wannabes. Mac also finds himself face-to-face with an old foe
from his past who had managed to escape arrest during their
last encounter. Now, Mac sees that his adversary has only
become more powerful, and dangerous, with the passage of
time.
Intent to not let this killer escape again, Mac and his friends need to put all of their talents together to put a stop to a cold-blooded lady killer.
Mac Faraday’s plan to spend a quiet weekend home alone with
his lady love, Archie Monday, is shattered by murder.
A middle-aged couple are brutally
murdered in their summer place on Deep Creek Lake. To any
other detective, the case would be considered open and shut
when it appears as if one of the victims has written her
killer’s name in her blood—not so for Mac Faraday, who
believes there is more to this case than meets the eye.
In Lauren Carr’s latest Mac Faraday Mystery former child-star
and teen-idol Lenny Frost steps into a pub in Deep Creek Lake
to see his face on the television over the bar with the
announcement that he’s wanted for the murder of his agent and
her husband!
How does Lenny Frost react to this sudden comeback into the
headlines? He takes everyone hostage and gives Mac Faraday
twelve hours to find the real killer or he’s going to kill
everyone in the bar.
Will it be a fatal last call at midnight?
In A Wedding and a Killing, Mac and his team discover more questions than answers.
What kind of person walks into a church and shoots a man for
no apparent reason? How do you solve the murder of a man who
has no enemies in the world? Which of the seemingly kind-hearted
church members is really a cold-blooded killer?
Then, there is the all-important question, how long do Mac Faraday and his lady love have to wait to get married?
"I am, bottom line, amazed at the giant step that places Carr comparable to significant authors whose name slips off our tongues like, for instance, Nora Roberts. Watch this author--she's moving quickly to where her goals are headed... Three Days to Forever has to be, in my opinion, the best of her best! Get it!" - review by Glenda Bixler, Book Readers Heaven
In one of the most critically-acclaimed Mac Faraday Mysteries from
best-selling mystery author Lauren Carr, readers embark on a

Crime team of Prosecutor Joshua Thornton and Homicide Detective
Cameron Gates), but also meet new ones as Mac Faraday’s daughter Jessica
Faraday and Joshua Thornton’s son Murphy Thornton join the team in the
race to get the lovebirds to the altar!*
With three days left to the year, Deep Creek Lake is hopping with holiday
vacationers and wedding guests pouring into the Spencer Inn for Mac
Faraday and Archie Monday’s huge wedding ceremony which is being touted as
the social event of the year.
But droopy flowers and guests who failed to RSVP are the least of Mac’s
and Archie’s problems when a professional hit squad hits Spencer Manor to
send the groom, Joshua Thornton, Archie’s mother, and Gnarly running for
their lives.

"There's lots of drama, crimes, murder, and laughter that surrounds the Diablo Ball. As usual, Gnarly is in the middle of everything. Hated to have to keep putting this down. I loved reading Open Season for Murder." - review by Rhonda Laney, readalot

Piedmont, a young woman who had disappeared while skinny dipping

Ball.
Intrigued by a mysterious phone call from a young woman claiming to be Ashton, retired homicide detective Mac Faraday can’t resist diving head first into the cold case. But he’s not the only one. Someone behind the scenes has gone to a lot of trouble to bring Ashton Piedmont’s friends and enemies to the Diablo Ball—which promises to be a gala event to die for!

In Cancelled Vows, David, Mac, and Gnarly, too, rush to New York City to dissolve David’s marriage to an old girlfriend—and he’s got five days to get it done.
