About the Book:
In this Loves in Crime Mystery, Spunky Pennsylvania State Homicide Detective Cameron Gates is tasked with solving the murder of Cherry Pickens, a legendary star of pornographic films, whose body turns up in an abandoned freezer. The case has a personal connection to her lover, Joshua Thornton, because the freezer was located in his cousin’s basement. It doesn’t take long for their investigation to reveal that the risqué star’s roots were buried in their rural Ohio Valley community, something that Cherry had kept off her show business bio. She should have kept her hometown off her road map, too—because when this starlet came running home from the mob, it proved to be a fatal homecoming.

My Thoughts:
A body found in a freezer after an explosion leads to an investigation by Hancock County Prosecuting Attorney Joshua Thornton and Pennsylvania State Police homicide detective Cameron Gates. The body turns out to be that of Cherry Pickens, a star of pornographic films. How did she get there and why in a freezer in the home of a her lawyer who's home was blown up? as Cameron and Joshua search for clues as to who may have murdered Cherry, they come across a lot of buried secrets that begin in 1978 that some people want to keep buried. A lot of interesting characters and a flawless story line make this a very intriguing read. I loved the relationship between Cameron and Joshua, they seemed to be a great match. Oh yes, then there is Irving, the cat who looks like a skunk who loves to ride along in the police car with Cameron.I enjoyed it immensely and hope to read more by Lauren Carr. I highly recommend this book to those mystery lovers out there.
