More from Caryl

Something new for this author! I call it a historical, romantic mystery! If you’ve read QUINCY & PRISCILLA At The Lowell House, then you know a favorite couple–Morgan and Charity Lowell (book four, LEAVING TEXAS) own the hotel.

In the twelve years since they opened the Dallas hotel, there had never been a murder until—of all people—a Mister John Smith is found dead in room three-thirteen, and his clandestine demise needs to be solved posthaste.

 

The chief deputy sheriff in town, Tatum McCarthy, served as sergeant alongside Captain Lowell under General Henry Buckmeyer during the war, and the men remain good friends. So guess who comes to Dallas as a character witness . . . Henry! Along with his beautiful wife May Meriwether (book three HOPE REBORN) Buckmeyer!

 

That’s right! The patriarch of my Texas Romance Family Saga series!

What fun to discover the wonderful connection of these Texas heroes! I’ve never enjoyed anything more in my writing career than to link these two series! Cross Timbers and Texas Romances make DUPLICUITY At The Lowell House a rip-roaring good time as Charity pulls out all the stops entertaining her favorite author—other than Morgan, that is!

This first mystery will be followed by others that Morgan and Charity will work on together. I’ll promise you now, there’s no telling who might pop up when there’s a murder to be unraveled! I pray you will all enjoy the fun and seeing these characters, natural friends in early Texas, come together for new stories!

My Thoughts

 Duplicity at the Lowell House By:  Caryl McAdoo is a Christian Historical Mystery. Caryl is one of my most favorite authors. I met her through a Facebook Book party a few years ago, and I have read almost everything she has written since. She can write across multiple genres. This is a blend between romance and mystery. This takes place at Lowell House - whose owners are Morgan and Charity. We have met them in a previous book - but no worries if you have not read any of the Lowell house  or Cross Timbers Romances Family books - the author has done a great job filling in any  background. In this book, a patron of the Lowell house has been murdered. Morgan tells his wife to leave the mystery alone - and let the police solve it. Does Charity listen? NO. I liked that Charity worked the case to try and see who would murder someone at their establishment. I loved how the author dropped lots of little breadcrumbs along the way so that the readers could try and make their guesses. 

I loved seeing a mystery come from Caryl McAdoo. She always writes such wonderful characters you feel like you are settling in with an old friend. I wish the Lowell house existed, I just want to go and visit it. I enjoyed this quick romance/mystery. 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging Program - All thoughts are my own.
