Texas-connected mystery roundup<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Welcome to Texas Reads Mysteries<\/em>, where I get to share my love of books. This month I have two cozy mystery series I found particularly endearing. Intriguing stories with characters that hit close to home. Of what do I write? Senior citizen sleuths on the hunt to solve a murder mystery, that\u2019s what! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n <\/p>\nHare Today Gone Tomorrow<\/em> is the third book in the Tricycle Girls Mystery series by Texas author Pat Pratt. Readers were introduced to the self-proclaimed curmudgeon Helen Boyer Patterson and her band of Tricycle Girls in Old Jewels<\/em>, followed by No Stone Unturned<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nToes in the Tulips<\/em> by Texas author Katherine H. Brown is the third Mystery Book Nook Shared World book. This multiple-author series revolves around a Texas bookstore, Mystery Book Nook. Other books in the series are Estate in Peril<\/em> by Sue Hollowell and No Good Deed Unpunished<\/em> by C. H. Sessums.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nHare Today Gone Tomorrow <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\nBy Pat Pratt <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\u201cWhat connects two murders, a one-eyed dog, and squeeze cheese?\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lonestarliterary.com\/sites\/lonestarliterary.etypegoogle10.com\/files\/article_body_images\/hare_today_gone_tomorrow.jpeg\" style=\"border-width: 5px; border-style: solid; margin: 5px; float: left; width: 175px; height: 263px;\">Self-proclaimed curmudgeon, Helen Boyer Patterson, is about to find out when the words \u201cNo Job Too Small\u201d on her Tricycle Girls business card comes back to haunt her. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n   She and fellow Tricycle Girls, Maggie and LeeAnne, are approached at Golden Harvest, the retirement village where they live, to find a lost item. The request comes from eight-year-old ReeAnn Walberg. The lost item is her best friend, Ariadne, who happens to be a stuffed rabbit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  Murder, mayhem, and matchmaking follow and have the Tricycle Girls scrambling for answers. Time is running out. Will they be able to solve the case? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n   Or will they, like Alice, tumble down a rabbit hole and get lost?  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the Author <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nPat Pratt is a published author of four cozy mysteries and co-author of another novel with friend June Wetherell Frame, who authored thirty-one previous books.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nPat mentors anyone interested in writing through multiple writing groups at the Waxahachie Senior Citizen Center and a critiquing group, Write On, composed of several local authors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nPat\u2019s special project, which is near and dear to her heart, is helping her special needs grandson, Michael Gann, fulfill his dream of writing.

In fact, she’s created a whole new event: the Community Garden Plant Potluck. The plant potluck is more popular than even she imagined until one of the community garden members is found toes up in the tulips, dead as can be. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n  Gladys won’t rest until the killer is planted in a jail cell and the Community Garden project is free to grow again. But when clues don’t make sense, she might have to do a little out-of-the-box research using an interesting new resource, The Mystery Book Nook Forum, online. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nDon’t miss this fun new adventure with some favorite characters! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the Author <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nKatherine Brown is a Texas girl, weaver of words, and lover of books.
