Book Description for Kill and Run:
Five women with seemingly nothing in common are found brutally murdered in a townhome outside Washington, DC. Among the many questions surrounding the massacre is what had brought these apparent strangers together only to be killed.
Taking on his first official murder case, Lieutenant Murphy Thornton, USN, believes that if he can uncover the thread connecting the victims, then he can find their murderer.
The case takes an unexpected turn when Murphy discovers that one of the victims has a connection to his stepmother, Homicide Detective Cameron Gates. One wintry night, over a dozen years before, her first husband, a Pennsylvania State trooper, had been run down while working a night shift on the turnpike.
In this first installment of the Thorny Rose Mysteries, the Lovers in Crime join newlyweds Lieutenant Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday to sift through a web of lies and cover-ups. Together, can the detectives of the Thorny Rose uncover the truth without falling victim to a cunning killer?

Lieutenant Murphy Thornton USN is working on his first murder. They have just found five dead women and there is no common thread to link them or to answer the question why. Lieutenant Murphy thinks that if you find out what they shared you will probably find the guilty person. Homicide Detective Cameron Gates is his stepmother and she might know something about this case. This is the very first book in this new series by Lauren Carr and it was a great beginning. I cannot wait to read more. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and these are all my opinions.
