The Wrong Side of Murder is another wonderful cozy mystery by author Lauren Carr. It has all the elements that draw me in – an intelligent female lead, an equally smart boyfriend who partners to help her, a complicated plot where clues are slowly revealed, people who aren’t what they seem to be, comedic moments to balance the darker ones, and several quirky pets full of personality.  

It’s a wonderful book to escape into at the end of the day. And get ready to read into the wee hours as, if you’re like me, you won’t be able to stop reading until the mystery is revealed.  – Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn

Nikki’s an intense individual who makes the perfect investigative journalist. She wants answers yesterday and she is willing to dig in to get them. She might get it wrong at the beginning but with the help of her family and close friends, she’ll get the answers she wants and needs.– review by Blooming with Books

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Nikki Bryant’s Next Case Takes Her to the Wrong Side of Murder

One spring morning, Jodi Gibbons got up and went to school as she did every day. Her young life went sideways though when the police found that her mother had been brutally killed during the night.

Twenty years later, many in Pine Grove believe Jodi got away with murder. After all, how could she have possibly slept through her mother’s violent death in the very next room?
After decades of silence, Jodi accepts investigative journalist Nikki Bryant’s invitation to tell her side of the story. However, before the interview can take place, someone silences Jodi permanently.

Now it is up to Nikki Bryant and her friends to uncover the secret that Jodi Gibbons has been protecting—a secret someone believes it is worth killing to keep from being revealed.

REVIEW

After reading the first book in the Nikki Bryant series I was ready and excited to ready to read this book. I was glad I didn’t have to wait very long. It was just as enjoyable as the first. It continues to have great characters including the lead character Nikki Bryant. Her world is well developed as are the characters.

The writer has created an interesting mystery that is well written and leaves the reader eager to find out what will happen next. This best-selling mystery author knows what she is doing when writing a cozy mystery. She brings her readers into the story and keeps them interested in the world, the characters, and the mystery.

She gives you twists. She gives you turns. She gives you a great story and mystery to enjoy. This is a strong story. I enjoy a good cozy mystery and if you do too I recommend this series. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series!
