Cozy Mystery Series that Takes Place in Texas, with Bird-Watching Sleuths:

August 5, 2008

I have another mystery about a mystery author’s identity:

“Help!  I’m trying to find a series which I have read two books of, and really enjoyed, but can’t remember the author’s name or the titles! It takes place in a Texas college town.  The main characters are a middle
aged man and a younger woman (who is a forensic anthropologist
).  They are bird watchers and the man is secretly in love with the woman. 
Ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks!”

If anyone has any ideas, please post a comment or send me a note… (I sure will be embarrassed if this turns out to be an author I read!)

    Oh this is going to make me nuts. I know this series. He’s a retired (?) teacher if I remember correctly, and the father of one of the woman’s friends (hence the reluctance to reveal how he feels about her).

    Hmmmm, Jeannie…. That doesn’t ring a bell for me. I’m sure I would remember that May/December set-up!

    But, it might jog someone else’s memory.

    If you remember which it is, please let me know so I can enter it into my “Texas Bookshelf” blog. Thanks.

    Sound very similar to the series by D.R.Meredith. The only thing is these are not bird watchers. Megan Clark is a forensic anthropologist by education but works as a reference librarian in Amarillo, TX. Ryan was the father of her best friend when she was growing up. He is a professor at a university. They are involved in a mystery book discussion group in this series of five books. Oh and there is a hint of a May December relationship.

    Hi Will,

    With all of us wondering who this particular author could be… perhaps we will find out. I am simply at a loss on this one.

    Hi Dennis,

    You’re right… it does sound like D. R. Meredith… without the bird watching.

    I went back through my bird-watching theme, and could not match any of those particular authors with the forensic anthropologist, May/December relationship.

    Are you thinking of J.S. Borthwick and ” The Case of the Hook-Billed Kites”…a Sarah Deane mystery?

    Hi Jan,

    You might have found the right book in the non-bird-watching series!
