A Mysterious Review of A Killing at Cotton Hill by Terry Shames. A Samuel Craddock Mystery.
Review summary: As good as this mystery is — and make no mistake, it is a very good one — it is the characters that are so appealing here, fitting in perfectly with the creatively drawn small town Texas setting. A very strong start to this new series, one worth seeking out. (Click here for text of full review.)
