Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name.

My thoughts on The Prime Suspect
“The Prime Suspect” by Lauren Carr is an absolute gem in the mystery & crime genre. The plot’s ingenious construction, revolving around two murders linked by betrayal, keeps you on the edge of your seat. Bryce Greyson’s plight as the prime suspect adds a layer of tension that propels the narrative forward.
Sam MacKade, the charismatic private eye, and his K-9 partners bring a refreshing dynamic to the investigation, appealing especially to animal lovers like myself. Carr’s portrayal of these characters adds depth and charm to the storyline.
The unpredictable twists in the plot are a testament to Carr’s storytelling prowess. Just when you think you have it all figured out, a clever twist takes you on an unexpected journey, showcasing the author’s mastery of suspense.
In essence, “The Prime Suspect” is a delightful blend of mystery, intrigue, and well-crafted characters. Lauren Carr continues to shine as one of my favorite authors in this genre, delivering another captivating read that earns a well-deserved 5-star rating.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
