A cozy mystery for the 2019 Book Riot Read Harder challenge. I chose it because it takes place in the Texas Hill Country, which I have visited a few times. It's from 1994, so the plot sometimes hinges on outdated considerations like having to get to a telephone to report a body. Otherwise, it still feels surprisingly contemporary.
