Decomposition Can Be Murder Retired homicide detective PC Donovan is still in her historic hometown of Possumwood, Texas. Her mama is almost healed up from her hip replacement surgery, but needs help with the critters-an assortment of rescued farm animals and semi-feral cats. When PC's friend floats the idea of riding in the annual MaiFest parade, she steps up to the opportunity with a regal wave. But the float isn't the only thing that comes with a hitch. Mushroom mayhem brings a skeleton out of the closet, or tractor shed, as the case may be. PC tries not to let the mystery get her goat, but when her mother's friend, the owner of Capre Leche Farm, is threatened, PC leaps into action to grab the case by the horns.

Jury Duty Can Be Murder As the sweltering dog days of August settle on Possumwood, Texas, retired homicide detective PC Donovan gets a slight reprieve from caring for her mama's barnyard menagerie. A notice from the county clerk summons her back to Houston for jury duty, and she expects to be summarily dismissed, allowing her to spend a leisurely morning in the city. But all of her plans go down the drain when a violent protest puts the courthouse on lockdown. A controversial radio talk show host has been courting disaster, broadcasting his complaints about being called for his civic duty. When he drops dead shortly after arrival, PC suspects foul play. She dives into the deep end of the jury pool to tag the potential murderer before the riot is quelled, the doors are unlocked, and the suspects cascade back into the outside world. With a whole raft of enemies to investigate and only a thin trickle of clues, can she filter out the killer?

History can be murder. Retirement isn't all it's brushed up to be.

Short on evidence and long on suspects, she searches for the key to unlock fact from historical fiction so she can paint the culprit into a corner.
