PaperBack: “Tequila”

Part of a series honoring the late author and blogger Bill Crider.



Tequila, by Margaret Page Hood (Dell, 1952). American writer Hood (1892-1983) is likely best-remembered for penning a mystery series set along the coast of Maine, starring Gil Donan, a deputy sheriff on Fox Island. Tequila, with its story taking place in New Mexico (where Hood lived for many years), doesn’t appear to be part of the Donan line. Cover artwork by James Meese.
