Customer Reviews

A good traditional mystery

This is the 3rd book in this series and I enjoyed the first two as well as this one. I've never been to TX or Mexico but these novels make me feel like I have. This book has an involved plot that is eventually all connected and sorted out. The reader is not left with any loose ends. The characters are interesting and charming. Texana's husband is a vet, so there are even interesting animal characters. I particularly enjoy Phoebe, their pet bobcat who lives in the trading post with them. While some horrible things happen, we are not given such graphic details as to give nightmares. Simply, a nice old-fashioned mystery to wile away an evening.

Allana was my high school journalism teacher.

Allana was my high school journalism teacher when she taught at Fort Worth Paschal High School in 1971 so I think you ought to buy several copies of this book.

More than a good mystery

One of those rare books that is a good mystery and a good novel. Not a 'cozy' but basically traditional. Reminds me of Sue Grafton. Complex characters, fascinating background (Te-Mex border)but still a good read. Ending a bit weird. My first exposure to this author, and I will definitely read the others in this series.
