Readers & Reviewers say:
"Lone Star
(State Of) Death is the intriguing tale of journalist
Samantha Slater in her new move to a small town in Texas and
immediate assignment to cover a local murder mystery. When
Samantha's boss, George Stanley, is suspiciously killed by a
runaway horse, Lone Star Death takes swift turns
through an increasingly thickening plot as the mystery surrounding
recent happenings, envelope Sam's life in the intricacies of
finding the truth. Lone Star Death is very highly
recommended reading for mystery buffs with a preference to
murder mysteries featuring an inventive tale of deceit,
thrills, and colorful characters. " Midwest Book Review,
June 2006 review of previous edition
"...Samantha Slater is a young woman who does not wait for
her life to come to her - she goes out to make her own. The
mystery begins on Samantha's arrival in a small town to
begin her new job as assistant editor to the local
newspaper. But before she is able to meet her new boss, he
is brought in to the newspaper office fatally injured by his
favorite horse. Abruptly realizing that she is now the
editor in chief, she decides that the editor's death is the
news to report. However, when she begins questioning the
locals, all she ends up with are more questions. I really enjoyed
this story of Texas in the 1800's. The haracter development
is wonderful - you really begin to see the people as the
story unfolds. The final question is this: Will Samantha
survive to write her next story?" from Amazon.com reviews
"LONE
STAR (STATE OF) DEATH is a history mystery with a well-researched Texas
setting and fine cast of characters, including Sam(antha) Slater, a
sleuth with gumption and a sense of humor. This is a debut you don't
want to miss." Bill Crider, Texas--author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series.
