    “Red, Green, or Murder” fits in chronologically between “Bag Limit” and “Scavengers”.

    Actually, the Bill Gastner Mystery Series and the Posadas County Mystery Series are separate, not AKA for one another.

    The Bill Gastner series covers Gastner’s time as Undersheriff, then Sheriff, while the Posadas County Series (starting with Scavengers) is after his retirement, when his one-time understudy Estella Reyes-Guzman has succeeded him as Undersheriff of Posadas County.
