With Christmas days away, join the Chris Matheson and the Geezer Squad as they race to piece together the clues to their most puzzling case yet.

Review -

I was so excited to read Chris Crossed Murder, author Lauren Carr's fourth title in her Chris Matheson Cold Case Mystery Series.  I dove right and couldn't put it down. Yes sleep was lost.  This author continues to offer more and more complex plots, with tons of twists and turns, revealing a clue here and there, until we finally see the whole picture in the final pages. 

This book begins with a mystery in the past. Then readers are transported into the future with an intriguing twist - Chris Matheson is thought to be dead.  Turns out he is very much alive. Who was the victim carrying false ID that led to this misunderstanding. The question slowly arises as to whether this mystery is in any way connected with an unsolved case from Matheson’s past. 

Enter the Geezer Squad, probably one of my favorite of Carr's creations.  They are a group of seniors with unique skills who meet once a week to try to solve cold case files.  Readers see the clues revealed bit by bit, at the same time they are revealed to the group. Will this mystery bring a threat to Chris and his family? Can the Geezer Squad which Chris is a part of, solve the case before danger comes calling?

Twisted, complex, and entertaining - with Carr's signature dashes of humor, great pets and intriguing characters - this one will keep you glued to it's pages well into the wee hours.
