Duplicity at the Lowell House ~ Caryl McAdoo

 

This is book one of the Cross Timbers Mystery series, a Christian Historical Mystery read.  It takes place in 1866 at the Lowell House, a upscale historical hotel.  When a man is murdered in room 13 and found with the murder weapon still in his chest, dead on the floor. It leads to finding out when, how and why.  Could it be his wife? Could it be another that the wealthy man had a fight with?  This leads to a full investigation, an arrest, romance and suspense all in one.

I would recommend this book to those that want a good murder mystery.  The book does have side stories that get you attached to the characters and a few romances going on.  This is book one of the series and I can't wait for the next one.  Side Note:  Side Note: If you would like a quick and additional story grab the books from the cross timbers companion book series. It  has some characters from this one that is mentioned in this book, so it was fun to know about who they were talking about.  (but you don't have to read this one is a stand alone.)

 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!
