San Gabriel’s Secret
An Adam Thomas Mystery
Nestled on the San Gabriel River in Central Texas’ Hill Country, Georgetown is a small town where things are normally pretty quiet. That is, until Adam Thomas, a retired scientist and now writer of a newspaper column for women under the name Aunt Kay, inherits a Confederate soldier’s journal and a murder.
Adam and his girlfriend Kathy find themselves the center of dark doings and racing headlong into a fast paced, high stakes adventure to untangle a murderous puzzle, a series of macabre organizations and locate the centuries old San Gabriel Secret.
The book also has some of Adam’s Aunt Kay household handy hints newspaper columns in it.
This book with Adam Thomas and his girlfriend has more twists and turns than a pretzel. Good likeable characters and a lot of action and surprises. Trying to read one chapter a night before going to bed was impossible. The cliffhangers at the end of the chapters kept me turning the pages. This should be a movie. I see why this won an award.

Setting is in familiar territory and plausible historically. Another great thriller/mystery by this author. Looking forward to the two new books due out in 2014.
