The Thorny Rose Mysteries

The Next Generation of Mystery

"Such a well-written mystery that I stayed up hours to finish because it was THAT good. ... Lots of action and the story never gets dull. ... The suspense builds throughout and it's such a real page-turner. I like how these series aren't so dark and depressing but still contains a great mystery." 5-Star Review from Myra Ball

In the Thorny Rose Mysteries, best-selling mystery author Lauren Carr has delighted her fans by merging the son and daughter of the detectives from her two popular series. Fans were introduced to Murphy Thornton, the son of Joshua Thornton from Lovers in Crime Mysteries, and Jessica Faraday, the daughter of Mac Faraday from the Mac Faraday Mysteries, in the widely-acclaimed and best-selling Three Days to Forever, which was released in January 2015.
