About this ebook

He has no badge and no authority, in a county full of corruption, drugs and murder.

When Fen Maguire left office as sheriff nine months ago Newman County was clean and safe. But the dead drug dealer found floating down the river says things may be changing… and not for the better.

Fire engulfs the dead man’s home, and all evidence points to the new sheriff’s father. Fen, however, knows there’s more to this case than a drug deal gone bad.

When he discovers a stash of drugs and a coded notebook, Fen launches his own investigation into the murder. Can he uncover the layers of corruption in his beloved county? Or will this be one time justice doesn’t prevail?

Fen Maguire is a man who values truth and justice, and is willing to fight for it. A clean read, whodunit mystery, Murder On The Brazos is the first book of the Fen Maguire Mystery series. No foul language, gore, sex or violence!

The Fen Maguire Mystery Series: Murder On Shinbone Creek, prequel - My first read by this author and I enjoyed it. I like what the Sheriff did for the Sheriff-elect. Interesting story lines with good characters combined with a good writing style made this a one sitting read. 4* Murder On The Brazos, #1 - Takes place about nine months after MOSC ends. Enjoyable story that held my interest and attention until I finished the last page, in one sitting. One person I missed because I did not pay attention; yes, I was snookered by the smoke. Love that the author knows a bit about Texas and Texans. Source: BookSirens. 4* Murder On The Angelina, #2 - Picks up where MOTB ends. Interesting with good story lines and believable characters. Chicken Oil Co. closed April, 2022 due to a fire; now it looks like the author described, an aged, worn building; before the fire, a well taken care of rustic, not a dump. Source: BookSirens. 4* Murder On The Guadalupe, #3 - Starts at the end of the Spring se
