Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biggie's back...for a murder most fowl. Murder's afoot when Biggie Weatherford's around, and now, fresh from Biggie and the Mangled Mortician, this Lone Star grandma is ready to put the bite on another ornery killer, Texas-style. It's chicken on the burner-- any way you want it-- in Firman Birdsong's new restaurant. Problem is, old Firman's under the table, gussied up like a prize goose, gravy on top, parsley garnish, and a blood-red tomato in his mouth. Biggie's twelve-year-old grandson, J.R., saw the dead man with his own two eyes. Clearly, this is a case for Biggie-- and her cousin, Sheriff Paul and Silas Wooten (yep, that's one man). But J.R. figures he and Biggie have other problems as well: his other grandmother and her buzzard husband have turned up, ready to snatch him back to Montana. So while Biggie and Paul and Silas are busy rooting out suspects, J.R. is planning his own great escape from wanna-be grandparents with their fancy car with longhorns on the hood, money to burn, and secrets to curdle the blood...

Once again, young J.R. faithfully narrates the humorous exploits of Biggie, his grandmother. Filled with plenty of quirky characters and down-home Texas flair, Bell's stories continue to delight. An old friend of Biggie comes back to Job's Crossing. Rex Barnwell and his young wife have returned to convert his father's ranch into a retreat for overweight teenage girls, and Biggie is forced to reveal a secret that she has always kept from J.R. Not long after this startling revelation, Rex is murdered. Knowing full well that he won't be able to keep Biggie away, the Texas Ranger in charge of the case enlists her help. While Biggie pursues her investigation, J.R. has his hands full with troubles of his own. These troubles don't involve any murders-though it might be easier for J.R. if they did. As an extra treat for the reader, Willie Mae shares her recipe for King Ranch Casserole.
Book Synopsis Mystery Women, Volume Three (Revised) by : Colleen Barnett
Download or read book Mystery Women, Volume Three (Revised) written by Colleen Barnett and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the heroines. What incredible choices there are today in mystery series! This three-volume encyclopedia of women characters in the mystery novel is like a gigantic menu. Like a menu, the descriptions of the items that are provided are subjective. Volume 3 of Mystery Women as currently updated adds an additional 42 sleuths to the 500 plus who were covered in the initial Volume 3. These are more recently discovered sleuths who were introduced during the period from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. This more than doubles the number of sleuths introduced in the 1980s (298 of whom were covered in Volume 2) and easily exceeded the 347 series (and some outstanding individuals) described in Volume 1, which covered a 130-year period from 1860-1979. It also includes updates on those individuals covered in the first edition; changes in status, short reviews of books published since the first edition through December 31, 2008.
