Description

Book three in the New York Times Bestselling Rose Gardner Investigations series.

They say the road to hell is paved in good intentions, and Rose Gardner can’t shake the notion she’s headed there in a handbasket. She feels responsible for the death of a woman she tried—and failed—to save with her visions, and though she intends to do the “right” thing and tell James Malcolm she can’t possibly accept his offer of a relationship, she hasn’t yet mustered the strength. Worst of all, her sister is terminally ill, and there isn’t a thing she can do to save her.

When a new case falls into Rose’s lap, she eagerly shifts her attention to someone else’s problems—except it’s Henryetta, and every person, and problem, is somehow connected. The case will bring her back into contact with James, whom she still hasn’t answered, and force her to confront her past in other unexpected ways.
Meanwhile, Rose and Neely Kate find themselves playing host to an unlikely house guest. Helping the stranger may require them to become more entangled with the crime world, something Rose knows she should avoid. She and Neely Kate have the very best of intentions, but are those intentions ushering them down a path they can’t easily leave?

    I’ve read these novels for years, and never tire of them. I am SO elated the book went how I desperately wanted it to go this time. I’m So invested in these characters, I legitimately hope this continues to carry on for many more years. The way Denise writes the characters and each novel.. she is just brilliant. Never a dull moment. Thank you for writing such an amazing series.

    I’m begging you if you haven’t read any of these books get on it!! You will not be disappointed. Denise has done it again. Rose and Neely Kate (my favorite!!) are solving mysteries and becoming PIs. Rose is having some trouble in the love department but hopefully it works it’s self out. Just read the books people.

    I enjoyed reading this second book in her series because I could relate to her main characters. They aren’t perfect, they have flaws which makes them real. I enjoy a good romance and a fantasy, but woven in the murder plot are characters that make up the romantic fantasy! Their lives intertwine with each other... they all have secrets, but they respect each other’s privacy. These people could be my friends, my reality! Rarely do I interact with the characters, but I find myself doing that with the characters in this story. Thank you for writing so real!
