In this fourth mystery on Deep Creek Lake, Mac Faraday finds himself up to his eyeballs in mobsters and federal agents.

After an attempted hit ends badly with two of his men dead, mobster Tommy Cruze arrives in Spencer, Maryland, to personally supervise the execution of the witness responsible for putting him behind bars - Archie Monday!

Mac Faraday believes he has his work cut out for him in protecting his lady love from one of the most dangerous leaders in organized crime; but when bodies start dropping in his lakeshore resort town, things may be hotter than even he can handle.

Critic reviews

"Carr is a very gifted novelist. Her mystery novels, both the Mac Faraday and Lovers in Crime Series, are phenomenal. Her ability to keep the reader guessing, as well as her plotlines that flow so effortlessly as they work up to the big reveal, always make her novels a fun endeavor, and I look forward to even more of her work as this year unfolds." (Shana Benedict, ABookVacation)
"All of Lauren Carr's mysteries are interesting and fun to read. Her characters are well-rounded and ring true, which brings a believability to the stories. Avid readers will be glad that new installments are on the way." (Edie Dykeman, BelleOnline, Mystery Reviewer)
"I must say, I truly enjoyed reading this book! I found myself waking up slightly early for work just to finish a couple chapters! Not only was this book captivating, I found myself laughing at Gnarly, the ever so lovable and rambunctious German Shepherd! I look forward to reading the next book by Lauren Carr!" (Debbie Hill, Miss Book Lovers)

Oh boy!!! I loved this book. I think maybe this is my favourite book yet. Did I say that about the last book? maybe because I have loved every book so far and they just get better and better. This book has it all mystery, action, drama, romance and humour. This is book four in the series and although you don't need to have read the books in order or have visited Lakeshore before I think it does help because you get to know the characters a lot better by doing so. In this book we learn a lot more about Archie who has been in the series from the start and in this book her character really shines, girl power! I like the rest of the characters which is what keeps me returning to Lakeshore and like normal Gnary the alsatian steals the show. The mystery was really good and I love how the author always surprises you with the twist and turns that go into her stories and how each clue is there for the reader or listener to find. I can't wait to start the next book.
When a police car is stolen, Archie Monday is on high alert because she has been keeping a big secret from her lover ex cop Mac Faraday. When things go wrong and people start coming after her, she has to reveal the truth that could get them both killed. Her secret brings hit man gunning for her, US Marshals trying to take over, bodies dropping like flies and a young girl and her mother in hiding. Can Archie, Mac and Gnarly keep everybody safe and stop the mastermind behind the Mob?
I liked the narrator. Another fine performance by a talented narrator and to be honest I didn't notice he wasn't the same one as the previous book.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
