An OWL Ladies Cozy Mystery
A warm and witty turn of the century Texas cozy mystery
It's Christmas week in McKinney, Texas, and the children have decided the large white-bearded stranger at the Magnolia is Father Christmas.
Minnie Mae Harper is less certain.
She found him in her hayloft. She washed his union suit. She knows about the blood on the sleeve — and she knows his story doesn't quite add up, the way a sum looks right until you check the arithmetic.
When a city man turns up dead near Honey Creek with his throat cut, Sheriff Knox starts asking questions. The answers keep pointing to one filthy, white-bearded, surprisingly well-mannered vagabond who arrived in Collin County on foot and won't say exactly from where.
But Minnie Mae has learned to hold her cards. And something tells her that whoever killed Daniel Pell, it wasn't the man currently handing peppermint sticks to every child on the square.
The truth is on that back road north of Weston, and the OWL Ladies are in pursuit. Someone saw what happened. And in McKinney, the right six women always find out what the wrong people are trying to hide.
The question isn't who St. Nick is. The question is what he walked into.
The OWL Ladies Cozy Mystery Series is a clean, cozy historical mystery series filled with older (and younger) women sleuths, small-town Texas secrets, frontier-era charm, found-family friendship, amateur investigation, western wit, clever clues, lighthearted humor, cozy danger, and twisty whodunits.
If you like Verity Bright, Beth Byers, Magda Alexander, and Tonya Kappes, you'll love this series. You can read each book as a stand-alone mystery, but starting with TANKED will introduce you to many of the characters.
