READER PRAISE FOR "TEXAS DEAD" "I found it to have suspense, mystery, humor, romance, charming and lovable characters, and a very real plot." ~Trudi LoPreto, Reader's Favorite "Texas Dead is a foot-jammed-on-the-gas-pedal crime novel with a solid plot and stellar characters. Maxie is a terrific lead who is strong enough to take on bad guys, yet soft enough to use 'hun' as a term of endearment. It's the small little touches that Gensburger adds that truly makes the characters jump off the pages. As for plotting, perfectly timed clues, leads and suspects are revealed to readers seamlessly as the story's current races forward to its comfortable conclusion. With twists, turns, and surprises galore, along with a few hearty laughs, Texas Dead is the perfect high-octane mystery. ~Steve Quade, Indies Today "Texas Dead by Willian Gensburger is an epic crime novel filled with suspense and murder and a tender, unexpected love story. Gensburger did an excellent job of developing the characters in this story…. What I liked most about this book was Maxie's character. The violent aspect of the story was not overdone. Typically, I am offended by all three; however, the few situations present in this book did not bother me. I recommend this book to adult readers who enjoy a good crime novel with some romance thrown in." ~B. Creech, Online Book Club "The consistent, pleasant, fast-paced narrative in this book, is well used. Every character, has a moment of spotlight, no matter how brief, and the writer will allow us, to connect to them. Gensburger takes his time in telling this mystery and he makes our waiting worth the while. ~Julio Carlos, Scribble's Worth Book Reviews.
