Hi guys. Good to be back with ya. Who’s gonna get murdered in this adventure? Hi Gnarly, good to see you too. What kind of shenanigans are you and your cohorts getting up to? Let’s pull up a chair, pour a cuppa and have a chat at Spencer Manor in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. We won’t be staying long, so don’t get too comfortable.
Mac and Archie’s dialogue about the fishing trip had me cracking up from the opening pages and I knew I was in for one hell of a good time. Lauren Carr has created a cast of characters that are complex and fully developed, with large personalities. Even the dogs, have distinct, strong personalities.
The sexes are splitting up, the guys going fishing and the gals are spending the weekend at a murder mystery writers seminar. Neither trip will go as planned and there is plenty of murder and mystery to go around.
The dialogue is witty and hilarious.
“Boy, we’re not even there yet and I can feel the male bonding happening already,” David muttered under his breath.
“I’m warning all of you,” Mac said, “anyone who starts crying gets shot.”
Boys will be boys, even when they are grown men.
The incidents with the cheese puffs is a mystery in itself. Gnarly is a kleptomaniac, so he is a prime suspect.
I couldn’t control myself when Storm…and, of course, Gnarly thinks everything is hunky dory. He’s an instigator, creating mischief and he feels okay about it. His antics have me laughing out loud. So much fun, so many laughs.
The babysitter for the tarantula, Monique, has to cancel, so she goes with ladies. After all, even a spider enjoys a vacation.
I love Sarah. One hundred and ten pounds soaking wet, can kick some ass, and has the heart of a vice cop. She can clean up good, but prefers the rough and tumble. I can relate to her.
These ladies can hold their own, but when Dallas finally figured out who the lounge singer, Natalie Drumond was, she knew there would be murder. It didn’t go quite the way she thought.
And the fishermen…This fishing tale is a whopper. And this is so good, I can’t say anything more about it. It’s just too good to spoil it for you.
Jessica and Nate spend a lot of time texting each other. I can see her…and it…happening, unreeling like a film in my mind. I can even see Cameron…Now, that’s some great writing, bringing the action in vivid detail to a realistic standard.
So much going on. The mysteries, with long lists of suspects, kept me guessing. My brain got tired of trying to unravel them, so I quickly flipped through the pages to let the characters wrap it up for me.

Twofer Murder is a book done well. If you think one murder mystery was not enough for you. You will get two in this book. Laura, has now outdone herself with this one as you will see if you decide to get it and read.
The boys go off fishing together. When they arrive they meet some new people in Scary, WV. They take two dogs with them. Tristan, Mac, Joshua, Murphy, JJ, David and two dogs are all together for a weekend.
Jessica, Archie, Sarah, Dallas, goes to the writer conference for that same weekend with a spider named Monique in Pennsylvania. Cameron joins the girls on their weekend when the Black Diamond shows up and Dallas calls David.
There appears some murder galore in this book. There are three victims. Will the boys solve the murders. There are twist and turns throughout the book. Will the girls solve their murders. Also, the book goes from one murder to the other. There are a total of thirteen parts all together.
Who could be the killers in the two murders, that take place in two different states. Tristan got his only little mystery as well. I love this book. There are some many mysteries going on that I believe you can get caught up in the book. Will Tristan find his missing cheese balls. Who has taken, Tristian's cheese balls. Will Tristan find the culprit of his missing cheese balls?
Sarah as her own little adventures. To find out what all these adventures are you will need find out by reading the book.

Author Lauren Carr has brought her iconic characters back and all together in her latest novel. The guys and the girls are separated as each group goes on their respective trips: the girls off to their fancy writer’s award ceremony and the guys going on their guy bonding fishing trip. I really liked seeing all the characters together, human and animal, and I quickly got lost in their lives again.
What I really liked was the family theme that seemed to be running throughout, just like her other books. The Thornton’s, Faradays, and O’Callaghan’s are a blended family of blood relatives and in-laws and maybe future in-laws and I liked that familial bond that kept them watching each other’s backs and sticking together. It is a very strong bond. Because of such a large family, we are given many people to keep track of. However, the author does give us a list of characters at the beginning of who’s who and the new characters of the mysteries each group is involved in. I had no trouble keeping people straight as just like all the characters in an Avenger movie, each of her characters have a distinct voice and talents. I was glad to get reacquainted and get to know some of the other members.
As always, we have the pets that also get involved in the adventure and sometimes create more havoc or help in solving the crimes. And thanks to cell phones, the guys and girls were in touch with each other frequently. So if you like murder mysteries, give this one a try as you not only get one but two. And both mysteries have enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages.
On content: there is some innuendo and there is language here and there (though I do not recall any profanity). I would consider this a fairly clean Adult read somewhere along the lines of TV dramas like the show Castle with such hard topics like murder and evil people but the characters adding humor to lighten the mood. I look forward to more works by Lauren Carr. I think a picture book story of the animal stars would be a fun story to read, hint hint.
I received a copy of this novel for free. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

I don't know where to start. Simply 5 stars isn't enough for me.
I have to admit Lauren Carr is my favorite Cozy Author.
Each book is just better and better. Such is the case with
TWOFER MURDER she listened to her fans and brought us the characters from 3 of her fabulous series.
TWOFER MURDER is a stand alone although it features the characters I've and many others have come to love from
The Mac Faraday Series, The Lover's In Crime Series and The Thorny Rose Series.
A new reader will not be lost at all. Lauren always includes a cast of characters at the beginning of each book.
This one is written a little different. It's actually two plots blended together. The girls from the 3 series are all together at a writers retreat while the men go on a fishing excursion.
And of course there is murder a foot in both places. Kind a makes a person wonder if the characters are a little cautious about traveling together. Everywhere they go trouble follows.
About the characters. . .
I can't even break them down to main characters and sub characters they all pull their own weight in every plot especially this one.
The dogs (each series has a dog) from all the series come together to add some comic relief and some K9 expertise in handling the criminals and everyday tasks like fishing. The comic relief comes when Gnarly (Mac Faraday Series) and Storm steal the cheese balls from the guys stash. They make up for their thievery by catching fish for the guys.
I especially loved the ending because Lauren announced a new
series releasing in February. I can't wait!
If you enjoy a good Who Dun It Cozy Clean read. Check them all out! You will not be disappointed.
You will not find any bedroom scenes (a little innuendo and some sexting is mentioned between newlyweds Jessica and Murphy who btw is just an amazing husband, and a covert operative...Murphy is a keeper!
I received a complimentary copy.

Lauren Carr is by far one of my favourite authors to read. Her books are always fantastic with a great plot, full of suspense and completely different than anything I have read before. This book is all that plus more with a double murder and mystery! You get two for one in this novel and it is worth every moment.
In this novel, our favourite characters are all back but this time they are on a girls and guys trip away from home. The boys have gone on a fishing adventure (which in itself is quite hilarious as several of them are not your typical outdoorsmen and get up to quite a bit of trouble just fishing!) and find themselves caught up in a murder, fraud and an old fling. I personally liked their murder mystery the most in this novel. It has so many different layers that I never really saw the ending coming, which is my favourite part of the way that Lauren writes. Their murder mystery involves fraud in a timber company that has seen thousands of dollars being stolen from residents along with an affair that could destroy several people.
The girls have gone to a super posh hotel for a very exclusive writers conference where Jessica is set to accept a lifetime achievement on behalf of her late grandmother. When they arrive, they are greeted not very kindly by the man who was accused of murder and who was humiliated on television by her late grandmother. He is out for revenge! While there an up and coming author (whose story is very similar to the murder that he was accused for), turns up dead.
This was an amazing story that was rapidly evolving. I could not put this one down, I had to know what was going to happen and I was reading long into the night! This is a definite must read.

I received an advance review audiobook for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Lauren Carr and iRead Book Tours. I'm excited to be a part of this tour.
I am a huge fan of Lauren Carr’s Nikki Bryant series and jumped at the chance to read another book that combines characters from her other series. Despite that, this book could easily be read as a standalone. There is enough context that the reader doesn’t feel like they are missing out on huge details.
This book offers two mysteries in one adventurous tale. As with Lauren’s other books, the characters are brilliantly written and laugh out loud funny. The book is filled with family drama, mystery, suspense against the backdrop of a writer’s conference. While I have not been to a writer’s workshop in the past, I felt like I was a part of the story because of how engaging it is. I literally found myself lost in this book and didn’t stop reading until the end. Shifting between the two mysteries was seamless and the author does a great job of interweaving the stories into one fabulous who done it!
I highly recommend this fast-paced, hilarious story about family, friends, and the secrets they keep.

The last several books by Lauren Carr that I have gotten were the audio version. I have really enjoyed this way of accessing and "reading" Ms. Carr's books. The narrators bring life to the characters and the stories. In fact, they do so much better with the voice overs then I could imagine in my head.
If you have read books from this author, then you will have a fun time with this book. It features some of the main characters from Ms. Carr's other series, Mac and Jessica Faraday. So fans will be pleased to see these two featured in this book. New fans can get a taste of just who Mac and Jessica are.
The mysteries were a bit obvious but the antics and fun that ensured in between was good. I thought that the two stories mashed up nicely. Mac and Jessica were in their elements. Another nice book from Ms. Carr. Although, I would recommend that if given the chance that you check out the audio versions.

Funny, witty full of characters we know and love. With plenty of murders to be solved. Some you might guess, but some you won't.
I loved the last scene, loved the fishing, but wouldn't want to clean the fish. I really liked the banter, fighting between the characters. It all worked.

I am an avid Lauren Carr reader! She hit the ball out of the park on this one! The characters are great, plot with twist and the dogs steal the show! Now I sadly wait for the next one!

Wow
I just loved this book. Mac and Archie are the two main characters with David as back up. The plots were intricate, and the story excellent.

I enjoyed this mystery. Two separate mysteries were interwoven seamlessly. While the men were on a weekend fishing trip, their wives and sweethearts attended a prestigious writer’s convention. Both groups get pulled into investigating coincidental murders.
There were plenty of characters but the author excelled at giving each character certain quirks or mannerisms that made it easier for this reader to keep them individualized and separate. The story was engaging, and often there were humorous scenes or dialogues which helped keep the story from becoming too dark.
The story progresses steadily from beginning to end, neither too fast nor too slow. The plotting is meticulously constructed and was logically presented. I especially enjoyed the guys’ portion of the book and their fishing exploits. (LOL)
I have read several other mysteries by this author and always enjoy her style and attention to detail. This one is no exception. With its unique blending of crime solving for two very different murders in two very different locations, this is a tale no mystery aficionado should miss.

My Review: 4/5
I love all of the characters in Lauren Carr’s books. This book was a great reunion of all of them. Deciding to go on a fishing trip, Mac, Joshua, Murphy, JJ, and Tristan head out for an adventure. In typical Carr style, they encounter a mystery in the small town of Scary, WV and step in to assist.
The wives/girlfriends head on their own adventure: a writers conference. Of course, they also find themselves in the middle of a mystery.
Twofer is not my favorite of Carr’s books. While I absolutely love the characters and all of their chemistry, it was difficult to keep up with everyone. Usually, there is one mystery to keep track of, but with two and all of the supporting characters introduced, I felt like I needed to write down everyone with notes just to keep it straight. Because of this, I can’t give the book a perfect 5.
I still love Carr’s writing and her elements of humor thrown in (i.e. the missing tarantula (Monique) and the case of the missing cheeseballs!) I found myself laughing out loud.
The narrators also did a fantastic job. With so many different characters, they did a good job trying to differentiate each one with a different voice. The expressions and voice tones made for a very enjoyable read.
Even though this is not my favorite, I still highly recommend Twofer!

Lauren Carr has once again created a delightfully entertaining murder mystery, combining two different scenarios, and keeping the reader on "the edge of his/her seat"!
I love the way the author balances the importance, equally, of both the men's and women's roles.
With the small amount of humor Lauren Carr includes in her writing, it enhances the reader's enjoyment in reading.
Using all the main characters from both the Mac Faraday series, plus, the Thorny Rose Mysteries, the book is totally captivating the whole book through.
The author has creatively combined the former endeared personalities, with a number of additional ones. The wide variety is totally realistic. As usual, her scenes are also very vividly portrayed.
If you haven't had the opportunity to read her two series, this is a perfect time to begin, then go back and "pick up" the background formulation of both series.
**Reader Beware: There are a few crude words used as, well as a few suggestive sexual situations.
This earns a Five Stars rating.

Note: This book works fine as a stand alone even though it is an intersection among 3 of Lauren Carr’s murder mystery series.
I’ve listened to many Lauren Carr novels and the Mac Faraday stories are my favorites. Still, I looked forward to seeing all of the main characters for the 3 intersecting series come together. The start was a bit slow for me and I think this was because Carr was introducing her characters for those that are unfamiliar with one or more of her series. The men are off fishing and the ladies are attending a murder mystery convention and awards ceremony. After 3 hours, I really wanted to spend all my time with the guys. There is so much about how the ladies look (pretty, gorgeous, voluptuous, luscious, beautiful, etc.) and then plenty about fashion (shoes, dresses, handbags, etc). I especially found all that very boring mostly because I know these ladies are so much more than their looks and clothing. I wouldn’t recommend starting with this novel if you’re just venturing into Carr’s novels. These characters show much better in other novels being more rounded and interesting.
There are basically two plots going on for the majority of the book. The guys are dealing with the Mud men (father and his sons) in a logging community. The Muds are bullies and there’s an old fatal car accident that has affected several people in area deeply. The ladies are on the track of the Black Diamond, an assassin for hire that some of them have run into before. There’s more than meets the eye with this lady! Our ladies have to learn how to play nice with some FBI while keeping it under wraps.
I really liked Gnarly’s addiction to cheese puffs and the trouble that leads to. There’s also Monique the tarantula who belongs to Jessica. I loved that suite’s butler had no trouble with setting Monique up in her own little bug house.
I liked both mysteries though I felt it took a little too long to get them to dovetail and bring all the main characters to play under one roof. This novel wasn’t as concise as much of Carr’s works and, once again, I think this is because she brought so many main characters into the story. All together, it’s a good tale for those that have read some of Carr’s other works, especially if you’ve dabbled in all 3 series. 3.5/5 stars.
The Narration: Anita Alger and Mike Alger tag team the narration for this book. Mike makes a good Mac Faraday and he does a pretty good job with all the male voices. Sometimes his female character voices sound feminine and sometimes they don’t. Anita had several regional accents for the ladies which I liked as it kept them distinct. Her male character voices often did not sound like men. I especially didn’t like the voice for Liam, a grown man with delusions of grandeur; he sounded like a 10 year old. The recording quality was good. 3/5 stars.
I’ve listened to many Lauren Carr novels and the Mac Faraday stories are my favorites. Still, I looked forward to seeing all of the main characters for the 3 intersecting series come together. The start was a bit slow for me and I think this was because Carr was introducing her characters for those that are unfamiliar with one or more of her series. The men are off fishing and the ladies are attending a murder mystery convention and awards ceremony. After 3 hours, I really wanted to spend all my time with the guys. There is so much about how the ladies look (pretty, gorgeous, voluptuous, luscious, beautiful, etc.) and then plenty about fashion (shoes, dresses, handbags, etc). I especially found all that very boring mostly because I know these ladies are so much more than their looks and clothing. I wouldn’t recommend starting with this novel if you’re just venturing into Carr’s novels. These characters show much better in other novels being more rounded and interesting.
There are basically two plots going on for the majority of the book. The guys are dealing with the Mud men (father and his sons) in a logging community. The Muds are bullies and there’s an old fatal car accident that has affected several people in area deeply. The ladies are on the track of the Black Diamond, an assassin for hire that some of them have run into before. There’s more than meets the eye with this lady!

Twofer Murder is a Stand Alone Novel--But...All of Lauren Carr's novels have a lot of characters--and the characters all serve various roles throughout her books and pop into her other series from time to time. Lauren's books also tend to serve up multiple crimes and mysteries. This book brings everyone from all of the series together in one book as the characters move through multiple murders and mysteries. While this is a standalone novel--readers who are not familiar with the characters and their past stories and interactions may almost need a roadmap for this one. There is a lot going on in this book as the author maneuvers a lot of characters through two separate storylines. While you can certainly read this book as a stand alone novel--I think fans and readers of Carr's other books and series will enjoy it and settle into the novel much easier than new readers to Carr's work.
Twofer Murder is a Clean, Engaging Mystery. I think I enjoy Carr's mysteries so much--including this one--because she skips the graphic sex and violence and writes good, clean mysteries with a little humor and a lot of character interaction and plot twists. There may be some light hints at something sexual between one of her couples--but, it's usually done in a playful, cute way that cozy mystery fans will enjoy. With two main mysteries playing out through this novel, readers are kept engaged with a number of twists and turns, the author's character dialogue, and the usual antics of the characters' dogs. Carr's books just make me smile. I enjoy the mysteries, I have grown attached to the characters and I love the pet personalities.
Would I recommend Twofer Murder by Lauren Carr? This book has a lot going on for readers at times. I am fairly familiar with most of the characters and Carr's writing style--but, I had to re-read a few sections at times as I switched from one mystery case to the other. Her books always have a lot of twists and turns--but, this one does really have double the twists with the two-story format. I really liked the book--but, think readers should read a few of her other books from her other series to become comfortable with her many characters and her writing style before reading this one. Fans of cleaner, more traditional, cozy mystery novels should definitely check out this book--especially if you enjoy books that offer frequently changing scenes and multiple, simultaneous story lines.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author or publisher for use in a blog review. All opinions are my own.

In this story all of the characters from Lauren’s mysteries are together for a double homicide. David, Mac, Joshua, Tristan, J.J. , and Murphy are off on a man’s fishing weekend. But when they get to the little town of Scary they find themselves in the middle of trouble. It seems the local lumbar plant has been reporting less timber than they have been taking from the land and short paying the property owners. When the investigating reporter that broke this story is found dead the men can’t wait to help solve his mystery, especially since the dogs are having better luck fishing.
Jessica, Archie, Sarah, and Dallas are at a mystery writers conference. There is a lot of media around an author since he was on trial for killing his wife but never convicted. He is running around causing controversy and trouble. There is also a brand new author that had more to do with evens than just an amazing story. And then the Black Diamond shows up you know that murder is close by.
I love Lauren Carr’s mysteries and couldn’t wait to get into this story with all my favorite characters. Both groups have their hands full. Of course they guys are going to run into a family of trouble makers that are the hired muscle for the timber company. Even though they are trying to do the right thing, they find themselves in trouble. But the more they dig, the more trouble they will find.
As for the ladies, they have their work cut out for them. From a concierge that is more than he appears, a new author that seems to be scared of her own shadow, a murderer that was never convicted, and now an infamous assassin that is planning on killing someone. The killer has no chance with this group of women on the case.
I loved the twists and turns, I was constantly guessing at who did it, and yet laughing at the story at the same time. I don’t know if I can look at a cheese ball without thinking of Gnarly. This is a great story and well narrated by Anita Alger and Mike Alger. If you are starting out with Lauren Carr’s mysteries, this is a great story to introduce you to everyone. If you have been reading her mysteries for a while, you do not want to miss this one.

**Review of audiobook edition**
Twoffer Murder
By Lauren Carr
Narrated by Anita Alger and Mike Alger
It was supposed to be a simple guys-only fishing trip in the Appalachian Mountains. But nothing is ever so simple especially when murder is involved. But while Mac, Murphy, David, Tristan, JJ, Joshua, Gnarly (yup bad news for the food) and Storm are enjoying the joys of a murder mystery and fishing their better halves are having an experience of their own. And the fishing is good for some of them.
Archie, Jessica, Dallas, and Sarah are attending the Sherlock Mystery Writers Guild Conference where the late Robin Spencer is to be honored with a lifetime achievement award. What better place for a real murder to take place than in the midst of a mystery writers conference. And it is here that Dallas sees someone from the past who is about to give her a decided down and bring Cameron Gates into the mix - the Black Diamond, a notorious hitman.
Both cases have perplexities that keep the reader wondering what could possibly happen next. And when there are containers of cheese balls involved it can get down-right messy! And as to who in this wide and varying cast of suspects is the guilty party - get ready for twists that will turn you completely around. This is a one who-dun-it that will keep the suspense up while breaking up the couples into separate groups.
The story is narrated by Anita Alger and Mike Alger - and before you ask no they don't read by character gender rather the story is read by which portion of the story is unfolding. When its the guys fishing trip turned murder investigation it is read by Mike. When it is the women's writers conference it is Anita doing the reading. The book is broken into two parts for downloading so that it is quicker and doesn't take up all of your device's storage if it is limited.
I was provided a review copy of this book by the author with no expectation of a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I chose to listen to this audiobook after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
I have read quite a few of Lauren Carr’s books and this one brings together a lot of the characters from different series. They’re all related in one way or another and the men decide to go on a fishing trip while the women go to a mystery writers’ conference to accept an award for Mac Faraday’s deceased mother. It seems that a murder occurs wherever these characters go so it just seems natural that there would be a murder but in both places? That’s crazy (but fun for us readers).
As usual, there are murders to solve and the main characters are up to the task. They get along well and there are some interesting conversations that include humor and wit. I love the dogs! They have such great personalities and although they’re well behaved for the most part, Gnarly is a bit of a thief.
I like how Twofer is narrated. A man narrates during the fishing trip and a woman narrates during the mystery writers’ conference. Both do a great job with timing and pronunciation.
I definitely recommend Twofer and it does stand on its own. If you listen to the audiobook, I would recommend making a list of the characters. The books usually contain a cast of characters because there are so many. The list isn’t needed after reading several of Lauren Carr’s books, but someone listening or reading for the first time would probably need one to keep everyone straight.

This is one of my favorite books so far of all the books by Lauren Carr I have had read, and I have loved them all. She takes all the main characters from 3 of her popular series, Mac Faraday, Lovers in Crime, and Thorny Rose mysteries and put them all in this one book. Not only that, she sends the women to murder mystery writers conference in Pennsylvania and the guys go fishing in West Virginia.
Sounds fun right? The women end up involved in a murder of one of the writers at the conference and the guys end up involved in the murder of a journalist investigating a timber company for fraud. They basically all still work together to solve both crimes even though they are states away, via cell phones. Each group works on their own case but gives and gets input from the others via cell phones.
I love how she has all the characters watching each others backs both near and far. I love the humor as well as the seriousness in the book. Lauren has really done a great job with this book. I love all 3 series, but by putting them all together this made for a really great read. I love how all the characters are so well thought out, and each person brings their own weight to this book. Everyone is a star player in the book.

Ms. Lauren Carr did amazing as always
I super loved this new book. Ms. Lauren Carr did amazing as always. I super loved the main three characters rolled into one of this mesmerizing mystery story from her previous books.
I enjoyed reading this book. It gives deeper story of Black Diamond. She is one mystery killer but oh so good. This story is like my husband and my son who loves fishing while my daughter and I love to go to the book event to have the fun minus the crime. The dogs Gnarly and Storm adds the flavor to the story as well.
This might be my new favorite book from of my favorite mystery book author. Ms. Lauren Carr never stop to entertain her fans with her mystery stories. Twofer Murder is another fun and intense book to read. I really enjoyed figuring who the murders are.
This story gives more insight of how being an author is a hard job. Kudos to them for creating stories like Ms. Lauren Carr who likes to twist our mind and makes our heart beats so fast while devouring her books.

I enjoy Lauren Carr's books. I have only read the three Lovers in Crime books prior to this one but she weaves a good mystery into character development and there are always twists which I enjoy.
This one involves characters from all three of her series. The gals are off to a mystery writers convention in Pennsylvania while the guys are going to do some fishing in West Virginia. Murder takes place at both sites and the characters work together to get resolution.
Lots of characters in the book so you need to pay attention. No long breaks from reading this one or you could get lost. Carr has a cheat sheet at the beginning setting out who each character is and general synopsis of what both groups are dealing with.
Carr also has the book broken into 13 parts. Each part alternates between the writers convention and the fishing trip. Another reason to not take to much time off between reading. Carr does a good job of recapping what is going on through conversations with the characters helping remind you without being obvious about it.

As its title implies, Twofer Murder is a double-feature – two distinct mysteries within the same novel. Both have complex and interesting plots with plenty of twists and turns. I loved the scenes with the animals, especially Gnarly, and his antics on the guys’ fishing trip. Lots of good two-legged characters, too. Perhaps a few too many for readers (like me) who have not read all of her previous series. I also think it would have been less confusing if the two stories had been told in separate books. Although I expected to be more drawn to the ladies’ mystery, I found the guys’ mystery more realistic and engaging. Overall, an enjoyable read for cozy mystery lovers and fans of Lauren Carr.

Twofer Murder is the second in the Nikki Bryant series (an apparently features characters from other series as well), but it can easily be read as a standalone. This mystery is full of mystery -- two murders to be solved. As the story begins, we have Nikki and two other women at a writers' retreat. Their partners are on a fishing excursion. Unfortunately both groups stumble into murder scenes...
The characters are unique and likable, but what I loved most were all the dogs. Gnarly returns from book one, and is joined by the dogs from the other series. There are moments where these dogs made me giggle aloud disturbing my husband's sleep. The stolen cheese balls and fishing expertise were wonderful moments of comic relief.
This was a quick, enjoyable read, and I am looking forward to the third installment.

Twofer Murder by Lauren Carr gives the reader exactly what is promised. Two separate mysteries rolled into one.
Not only are there double murder cases, but the protagonists from three different series meld into super sleuths to solve the cases.
I’ve read several Mac Faraday stories, but haven’t read the other series. This caused me a bit of confusion in the early chapters while I sorted all the characters out. Once I figured out the cast, the book was hard to put down.
The author throws in clues and red herrings like the best in the business. She writes characters that are easy to love (or hate). Her canine characters add so much to the storylines.
I highly recommend Twofer Murder to all fans of mysteries, well-told tales with fabulous characters.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

Even the pets have a great time when the extended Faraday, O’Callaghan, Thornton clan set off on an adventure. You will find yourself with a new favorite family member, or maybe a few, by the time is all said and done. I know I will never look at a meet and greet with authors the same again. When Lauren Carr is telling the tale, there is no predicting what direction the action will take, or even how two very different adventures can go so differently than planned. Even when murder is setting the scene, I promise you will find moments to laugh!
I listened to this audiobook far into the night and couldn't wait to get back to it the following day.
The narrators did a wonderful job.

Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes!
I do not understand how such an accomplished writer like Ms Carr can make these kind of mistakes. I made the story so choppy it was hard to enjoy.
A man goes to sleep with a bed roll and gets up from under a thin blanket; a man is on a porch yet opens the door from INSIDE the living room.
Just an example of bad editing and mistakes in writing. Hard to enjoy the book.

Wow wow wow. The guys are going on a fishing trip and the gals a resort. The setting for both is to die for literally! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The complex characters and family interactions, humour, danger and love all make an intriguing mystery. And as a dog lover I adore the furry characters in this story. Warning don't start this if you are not prepared to go all the way, it's addictive!
