Beware! Perfection has a dark side!
Frustrated with their busy schedules, Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday attempt to find togetherness by scheduling a weekly date night. The last thing Jessica expected for her date night was a couple's gourmet cooking course at the Stepford Kitchen Studio, owned by Chef Natalie Stepford--the embodiment of feminine perfection.
When Natalie ends up dead and Murphy goes missing, the Thorny Rose detectives must peel back the layers of Natalie Stepford's flawless life to discover that perfection has a very sinister dark side.
MURDER BY PERFECTION was released on May 31, 2018, and instantly reached 40 on Amazon's list of top mysteries and has remained in the top one with consistently positive sales and reviews. It is the third book in the Thorny Rose Mysteries, one of Lauren Carr's popular mystery series.
“Are you kidding me?” Lieutenant Murphy Thornton re-read his wife’s text message that popped on the screen of his SUV’s console. He had the slimmest of hope that he had misread it:
Study group running L8. Can U pick up pizza 4 dinner?
With a curse, he threw his navy cap into the passenger seat and punched the steering wheel.
“Murphy, would you like to send a reply to Jessica?” the deep voice of the Faraday-Thornton artificial intelligence network came from the SUV’s speakers. Called “Nigel,” the state-of-the-art artificial intelligence was a test system designed by the federal government. Nigel controlled the Faraday-Thornton entire technical network from communication, security, and even their calendars.
“Tell her okay, Nigel.” Murphy turned on the SUV and mentally prepared to join the thousands of drivers engaged in the Friday night rush hour from the Nation’s Capital. He could envision the dozens of patrons crowded in the pizza place in Great Falls.
With a wave of gratitude, he eased his black SUV in front of a blue sedan to merge into traffic leaving the Pentagon. He speeded up the access ramp to take the expressway along the Potomac River.
