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

<\/p>\n

Welcome to Texas Reads Mysteries<\/strong><\/em>, where I get to share my love of books. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Does it get any better than haunting cold case mysteries where time has no meaning and murder no limitation? I was first intrigued by the book covers, then the storylines of Four Minutes of Darkness<\/em> and Time For Justice<\/em>. Even the titles ensured a second look. Missing children, missing bodies, families without answers and seeking justice for their loved ones were all elements of the twisting, suspenseful novels I enjoy reading. The two books went to the head of my must-read TBR list. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She believes she\u2019ll find them where it all began, in the Texas Hill Country. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAs Grace delves deeper into her past, with the help of local detective Ethan Marshall and her mom\u2019s journal, somebody takes notice and will do anything to keep the truth from coming out. Will opening this door to her past give her the answers she seeks, or kill her? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nSome doors should never be opened\u2026 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the Author <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nBorn and raised in California, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kadyhinojosa.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kady Hinojosa<\/a><\/strong> always loved creative writing.

Muller <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nTwo crimes. Two killers. Too many secrets. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nPrivate investigator Fiona Drake and her boss, Tom Meyers. are entangled in two cold cases that will test them at every turn. To solve one, they must prove the local sheriff, who built his career on catching a serial killer, arrested the wrong man. The second case is more personal as it involves a plea from Tom’s dying mother to find her missing daughter, kidnapped thirty-five years ago. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAs the cold cases heat up and more information comes to light, Tom and Fiona find themselves caught in someone\u2019s crosshairs. But who wants them dead? Is it the cagey killer, the child abductor, or a new player yet to be revealed? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nCan Tom and Fiona uncover the answers after so many years, or will the killers find them first?  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the Author <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.susancmuller.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Susan C.
