Great choices! Though not a Texas author, I was excited to find a 2 out of 3 book this Saturday...set in Texas' Big Bend and a mystery, just not a Texas author, but the author is southern ;-)

Thanks for the mention! And you might want to add Wendy Watson, who writes a series set in a Texas ice cream parlor. The first book is Ice Scream, You Scream and it's delightful and full of Texas flavor (pun intended!)

JJ - sounds interesting. So who is this author and the series set in Texas' Big Bend? That sparks my interest.

Leann - Thanks for the tip on the author Wendy Watson. I am always intersted in mysteries set in Texas. And of course my other interest is in ICE CREAM!!!

MR: I'm reading Borderline by Nevada Barr :-) and now I have incentive (like I need incentive to grab a book) to read more so I can check out the series set in an ice cream palor - SWEET!
