Denise Grover Swank has written yet another absolutely amazing addition to her Rose Gardner series. Engaging from the first word, I was unable to put it down. It answered so many questions which have arisen over time, while bringing forward very different ones. So much mystery in this novella, that every fan of this series will be avidly waiting for the next book.The Rose Gardner series is a phenomenal set of books that bring the reader straight into Fenton County from book one and never let's you leave. The reader feels as if they live in the county and are just as important members of their town as Rose and all her friends, relations, and others she meets in her daily endeavors. Always finding trouble or trouble finding her, Rose is always up for the challenge, even when she thinks she isn't. From her DA boyfriend, to her previous almost fiancé, to her friends Neely Kate, Jonah, and Bruce Wayne, as we as her dealings with the Fenton County crime lord, Rose's life is quite full in so many different ways.This is one of the best series I have read, and I am an avid reader. If fun, laughter, mystery, intrigue, and everything in between interests you, this is a series you will want to start reading ASAP. I guarantee you will fall in love with it, just as I and so many other readers have.Denise writes a phenomenal book each time while the character and stories overlap and continue and move forward with each book, thus is the first which ends with a slight cliff hanger; but a good one.I highly recommend this series, including this novella, for any and all readers. A trying A+ read.
