My Thoughts:

Morgan and Charity Lowell certainly have a full life with their children, family, friends, and running their hotel. Unfortunately a murder has now happened at the Lowell House and for everyone's comfort and peace of mind they need to get to the bottom of this.

I thought this was just going to be a cozy murder mystery, another way that Charity Lowell gets into mischief, but no, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is Morgan's wife a gutsy want to be detective but she still finds time to be a matchmaker to the town's deputy and a dear widowed friend.

Everything flowed smoothly in the story and mystery kept me guessing. I enjoyed another seasoned romance and I do really think Charity has a gift in that direction. And the fun banter and competitive nature of her and Morgan was sweet as well.

The Lowell's certainly have a busy life and adding a murder mystery didn't slow them down.

Something new for this author! I call it a historical, romantic mystery! If you’ve read QUINCY & PRISCILLA At The Lowell House, then you know a favorite couple–Morgan and Charity Lowell (book four, LEAVING TEXAS) own the hotel.

In the twelve years since they opened the Dallas hotel, there had never been a murder until—of all people—a Mister John Smith is found dead in room three-thirteen, and his clandestine demise needs to be solved posthaste.

The chief deputy sheriff in town, Tatum McCarthy, served as sergeant alongside Captain Lowell under General Henry Buckmeyer during the war, and the men remain good friends. So guess who comes to Dallas as a character witness . . . Henry! Along with his beautiful wife May Meriwether (book three HOPE REBORN) Buckmeyer!

That’s right! The patriarch of my Texas Romance Family Saga series!

What fun to discover the wonderful connection of these Texas heroes! I’ve never enjoyed anything more in my writing career than to link these two series! Cross Timbers and Texas Romances make DUPLICUITY At The Lowell House a rip-roaring good time as Charity pulls out all the stops entertaining her favorite author—other than Morgan, that is!

This first mystery will be followed by others that Morgan and Charity will work on together. I’ll promise you now, there’s no telling who might pop up when there’s a murder to be unraveled! I pray you will all enjoy the fun and seeing these characters, natural friends in early Texas, come together for new stories!
