Book Praise:

“So much fun to read!  The castle seemed foreboding. The rumors of the ghost dog, werewolves, and more made more plausible in light of the murders. Is it enough to make even detectives reconsider?  Is it all about the missing book or is the real motive money?” – review by Mystery Suspense Reviews

Review By LAWonder10:

This is the most eerie, suspenseful book Lauren Carr has written! It was a fun read. as is Lauren Carr’s style, it repeatedly fees like the book is ending, but then takes a twist and keeps on going.
Over a decade earlier, after a billionaire author of horror stories, Damien Wagner, builds a castle on the other side of Spencer’s mountain, an evil seems to take over the castle. It is believed to be haunted. Later, when millionaire mystery author, Robin Spencer, and Damien’s friend, believing it is evil, has the castle boarded up and forgotten. While Mac and David were searching for a missing person with Alzheimer’s, David stopped Mac when he turned to go down an unfamiliar road that had ben unused, with growth of tall foliage. Mac was determined to discover what was down the road David forbid him to go. Finally, since Mac insisted on “checking out” the castle, David and Spencer’s inn Security guard Hector, insists on going to, not wanting Mac to become another casualty of the castle. This event unfolds a string of events and mysteries associated with past and present murders.
The characters are interesting, diverse, endearing and infuriating. They seem so true to life and they are easy for the reader/listener to connect with. The background scenes are easy to visualize. The Title is very fitting and the cover image is simple, eye-catching and depicts the main theme perfectly
This is a fast paced, captivating book with, a touch of horror, paranormal, romance and a lot of humor and intrigue.
I offer a Five Stars rating for this book.
