Book Description:
Summer of Love & Murder
Joshua’s eldest son, Joshua “J.J.” Thornton Jr., has graduated at the top of his class from law school and returns home to spend the summer studying for the bar exam. However, to Joshua’s and Cameron’s shock and dismay, J.J. moves into the main house at Russell Ridge Farm, the largest dairy farm in the Ohio Valley, to rekindle a romance with Suellen Russell, a onetime leader of a rock group who’s twice his age. Quickly, they learn that she has been keeping a deep dark secret.
The move brings long-buried tensions between the father and son to the surface. But when a brutal killer strikes, the Lovers in Crime must set all differences aside to solve the crime before J.J. ends up in the cross hairs of a murderer.

“Lauren Carr could give Agatha Christie a run for her money!”
- Charlene Mabie-Gamble, Literary R&R
“As always, Lauren Carr brings an action-packed story that is almost impossible to put down. Her mystery plots have so many twists and turns that I didn’t know if I was coming or going. And the action just didn’t stop from the very beginning till the very end.” - Melina Mason, Melina’s Book Reviews

My Review
Killer in the Band (A Lovers in Crime Mystery #3) by Lauren Carr ended up being just as good as the first two books in the series. A lot of the time I find that the first book in a series often outstrips the rest of the books in the series by far, yet Lauren Carr managed to keep the continuing books in the series just as good as the first one.
I loved the addition of Joshua’s eldest son, Joshua “J.J.” Thornton Jr. to the story as it added a new story element and a character that kept me wondering. I felt like I could not understand J.J.'s choices at first, but they played in to the story perfectly!
