Reckless In Texas: Metroplex Mysteries Volume II
There’s just something about Texas … May you have as much fun with these ten tales of murder and deception as I did, and may you remember them long afterward. As Carl Sandberg said, “Texas is a blend of valor and swagger.” So are these stories.
—from the Foreword by JOHN M. FLOYD Welcome to the second anthology by the chapter members of Sisters In Crime North Dallas. The city of Dallas and surrounding locales offer great fodder for mystery writers—and readers. These inspire the stories contained in Reckless in Metroplex Mysteries Volume II. BARB GOFFMAN , who edited this anthology, is a short story writer and freelance crime-fiction editor. She’s won the Agatha Award (twice), as well as the Macavity Award, Silver Falchion Award, and Readers Award given by Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine . She’s been nominated for major crime-writing awards thirty-seven times, including seventeen Agatha nominations (a category record), and multiple nominations for the Anthony, Macavity, and Derringer awards. Novels and stories she’s edited have won the Agatha, Derringer, and EQMM Readers Award and have been nominated for the Agatha, Anthony, Derringer, Macavity, and Shamus awards. In 2020, Crime Travel , a time-travel mystery anthology Barb edited, was nominated for the Anthony. She blogs at SleuthSayers website.

A wonderful collection of short stories with unique Texas twists. Enjoyed reading stories from various local authors who put a new spin on mysteries.
