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

<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

What mystery lover can resist the lure and intrigue of buried secrets? Dare I say, a skeletal finger beckons, or is that my author\u2019s wild imagination? The question enticed me to add Ghost Bones<\/em> and a Clover Covered Corpse<\/em> to my TBR list. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n <\/p>\nGhost Bones <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nThe Alice MacDonald Greer Mysteries <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nby Helen Currie Foster <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lonestarliterary.com\/sites\/lonestarliterary.etypegoogle10.com\/files\/article_body_images\/ghost_bones.jpg\" style=\"border-width: 5px; border-style: solid; margin: 5px; float: left; width: 250px; height: 387px;\">Alice Greer is relishing life, love, and her law practice in the small town of Coffee Creek, deep in the scenic Texas Hill Country. She\u2019s even setting a wedding date with Ben Kinsear. Then local politics boil over, and suddenly Alice\u2019s life turns hot\u2014maybe too hot to handle. <\/span><\/span>   Retired judge Edwin Mahan asks Alice to take on two unusual tasks: supervise an archeology dig on his land and help publish his controversial history of Coffee County. His book describes murders on the judge\u2019s property in 1847\u2013\u2013involving dead Comanches, a dead horse, a deadly pistol, and two dead German immigrants. With no murderer caught, no trial was ever held. But Judge Mahan is all about \u201can accurate fact record.\u201d When Alice and her barrel-racing assistant Silla discover the latest murder victim, it\u2019s clear someone will stop at nothing to silence the dead and the living\u2013\u2013including Alice. <\/span><\/span>   The iconic Hill Country setting, with its quirky characters, hidden springs and buried history, sets the stage for this legal thriller and for Alice\u2019s desperate search for the murderer. Join Alice as she tangles with mystery, legal drama, and matters of the heart. Ghost Bones<\/em> is Book 9 in the Alice MacDonald Greer Mystery series by award-winning author Helen Currie Foster.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the Author <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nAward-winning author <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helencurriefoster.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Helen Currie Foster<\/a><\/strong> lives and writes north of Dripping Springs, Texas, in the beloved Hill Country, supervised by three burros.
