The Errant Heirs Caper
The J.D. Pierson Mystery Series Book 1
by C.H. Sessums
Genre: Cozy Mystery
At a dime a dozen, I’m going broke handing out excuses for my dad.
The name on the door says “JD Pierson, Investigator,” but most days the chair behind his desk is empty.
It’s 1936 and times are hard for everyone in Tyler, Texas, but it’s all I can do to keep the rent paid since
Dad lost his way in a bottle of gin.
When JD suddenly shows a moment of sober coherence, I whisk him off to his favorite fishing lake in the
hopes I can keep him off the sauce. I wanted Dad back in the investigator game, but having an old friend
turn up dead was not part of the plan.
But when a swarm of heirs swoops in we’re left wondering if his death really was an accident, or if
murder is how one of them means to cash in.

The Killer Jack Mystery
The J.D. Pierson Mystery Series Book 2
A trip to state prison puts Jenny on the trail for a stolen necklace and right into the path of a killer...
The lights are just about to go out for good in my father's PI office when I get an unexpected call from the
state penitentiary. My mother's only brother was sent up for robbery years ago, and now he needs Dad's
help to get his daughter out of trouble. It's impossible for me to be sure that the pendant around Cousin
Betty's neck is stolen, but one thing's for sure—she doesn't want to talk about where it came from. When
my cousin gets gunned down walking home and the necklace disappears, I realize I'm not only looking
for a thief . . . I'm dealing with a murderer.
Can I track down the identity of a man named Jack in time, or will he disappear into the shadows, only to
kill again?
The Case of the Texas Ranger
The J.D. Pierson Mystery Series Book 3
A Texas Ranger—a virtual relic from the past–walks into a bar... but it isn't funny when he gets shot
down on the street the moment he walks out...
Just like the doctors warned, Dad has made lots of promises about staying off the bottle. That doesn't
stop me from being disappointed to find him at the local speakeasy one night. The leathery, stout man at
his table looks vaguely familiar, and I'm only a little surprised to find out he's Templeton Gorham, former
Texas Ranger. The governor shut down the Rangers years ago, but before that, Templeton was virtually
a legend in his profession. He and JD are laughing over drinks like old friends, but later, when the three
of us walk out into the night, gunshots pierce the darkness. Templeton is left lying in a pool of blood, and
I'm left with a brand-new case on my hands.
When the victim won't speak, can I find the answers to keep a killer from finishing the job he started?

GUEST POST
In about 2010 the hubby and I began the sometimes fun, sometimes
exhausting, oftentimes ill-planned, converting of our old storage
building into what we now affectionately call “The Bunkhouse.”
It took quite a while to get it fixed up right, but when we did we
discovered how much we LOVED being in there.
That began our almost weekly forays
into “stay-cationing.” We would take the pup(s) (then it was
just the little corgi, but now we have a second bigger dog) and would
spend the night in The Bunkhouse over the weekends. We would tune
out most of the world, light up our Amazon Firestick to stream movies
and series. A lot of those were mysteries and I thought I’d share
a few of my absolute favorites with you.
We caught a few episodes of this
even before the Bunkhouse, watching it on PBS. Then when we began
streaming I discovered they were ALL available on the Acorn Channel,
so we went back to the beginning and watched them from the start.
These are fascinating because they take place in war-time England so
you get a fascinating mix of the history of that time combined with
the mystery. And the relationship between the main character Foyle
and his driver/assistant Samantha Stewart is so much fun. Their
tenuous relationship grows through the seasons until he becomes
almost like a father to her. I highly recommend checking it out.
The great
thing about Midsomer Murders is that it’s a long-running series
that you can stream for free (with commercials) from IBDb. Barnaby
is a Detective Chief Inspector in the cozy county of Midsomer where
they seem to always have some interesting murder investigation. These
are fun episodes with lots of little quirky twists and turns along
with a cast of suspects. Grab the popcorn and start binging this one
today.
If you’re interested in something
really different, check out this Russian mini-series. Set during
WWII, this one is part war movie and part mystery, with undertones of
intrique and romance throughout. You won’t know who the good guys
and the bad guys are until the very end. Yes, this one is actually
in Russian with English subtitles, but highly entertaining. There’s
only one season available now, but a second has been produced and I’m
just sitting on pins and needles waiting for it to become available
on Amazon.
So, when you’re not reading, what
mysteries have you been binging lately? Comment below and share your
favorites.
