About the Book
Book: Coercion at the Cow Palace
Author: Caryl McAdoo
Genre: Historical Romantic Mystery
Release date: January 12, 2022
There’s more than a hundred witnesses in the room, but no one sees who shot the newspaper reporter. If not for an offhanded bet, Morgan and Charity would never have gotten involved; he’s not one to let a friend down. The truth of who and why DeeDee’s big engagement is wrecked might never be known if they hadn’t, and it still may not be if the Lowells can’t get the right man elected governor of Texas. Crooked civil servants and politicians who think they’re above the law thwart their every effort. It’s a historic mystery wrapped in redemption, love, politics, and coercion at the Cow Palace.

My Thoughts:
Charity and Morgan Lowell are thrust into another murder mystery, due to the fact that one of their dear friends made a bet and couldn't keep his mouth shut. Now he wants their help to solve a murder that happened in front of over a 100 people at a birthday party, but no one saw who pulled the trigger.
Charity is looking at this whole situation as another promising book for her and Morgan to work on together. Morgan keeps telling Charity he doesn't want to write anymore, but she has a way about her to get what she wants. We even see this as she tries to get the information out of the witnesses.
There are many pieces of the puzzle, and we are given a front row seat to see how all of this is going to come out. Was this a love story gone bad or was there greed and money pushing the agenda? Morgan and Charity will figure this out with the help of their friends. And some characters will even see that they are worth so much more in the eyes of God then they thought.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
About the Author
More from Caryl
I have so enjoyed writing these mystery stories with Morgan and Charity Lowell—from several books, but primarily LEAVING TEXAS, book four in the “Cross Timbers Romance Family Saga—as the wise and apt investigators! Of course, I have to throw in a little romance. I just can’t help it!
In COERCION at The Cow Palace, we take a little jaunt from Dallas over to Fort Worth and its Hell’s Half Acre. The city was incorporated in 1873, the year COERCION is set, but already acted as a hub for all the cattle drives coming north through Ft. Worth to the Kansas Railways.
I grew up in Dallas and really hadn’t known that much of Fort Worth’s history, so the research proved so exhilarating! Army General William Worth proposed a string of forts to protect Texas’ new settlers but died with cholera before seeing this come to fruition. His successor named the fort for him thirty years before our story.
It had a booming population of over five thousand—plus almost another thousand slaves—before the Civil War. Afterwards, during the reconstruction, its citizenship dwindled to less than two hundred in the 1860s, but the following decade with the arrival of the railroad in 1976 firmly established “Cowtown, ” Fort Worth’s famous nickname.
I loved setting these characters in this famous Texas town. It’s been said that Fort Worth was where the West began! I say, “Let the fun begin as we figure out along with the Lowells who done it!”
Blessings, y’all!
