I've read several Lauren Carr mysteries and enjoyed all of them. This one was a great introduction to a new series. The plot was a new and interesting one, the bad guys got their comeuppances and the characters were engaging and easy to care about. I look forward to reading more books about the Thorntons as they are introduced. In my opinion, you can't go wrong when you select a Lauren Carr book.
