READER PRAISE FOR "TEXAS DEAD" "I found it to have suspense, mystery, humor, romance, charming and lovable characters, and a very real plot." Trudi LoPreto, Reader’s Favorite “Texas Dead is a foot-jammed-on-the-gas-pedal crime novel with a solid plot and stellar characters. Maxie is a terrific lead who is strong enough to take on bad guys yet soft enough to use ‘hun’ as a term of endearment. It’s the small little touches that Gensburger adds that truly make the characters jump off the pages. As for plotting, perfectly timed clues, leads, and suspects are revealed to readers seamlessly as the story current races forward to its comfortable conclusion." "With twists, turns, and surprises galore, along with a few hearty laughs, Texas Dead is the perfect high-octane mystery."
