Oh, Rose…by any other name would smell as sweet…and sassy and ornery and sleuthy. Yeah, that’s not a word, I know. But it fits. Rose is VERY sleuthy. She and her friends and her “gift” of insight (that’s putting it mildly) find themselves in a heap of trouble in each book, but I was right there with them, holding my breath and laughing out …
I truly enjoyed reading the first 3 books in this series. There were many twists and turns in each plot. The characters were well written, I was always pulling for Rose finding her true love but knew she could make her own without her love if she had to.
Loved that I could get this series in a bundle. I would have hated having to wait for the book. I felt like my best friend moved away when I finished the series!
The Rose Garden mysteries was my first introduction to the work of Denise Grover Swank and I haven’t looked back. I love every thing I have read by her. The Rose character is complicated and evolves with each book. With each passing book, Denise grows all the characters in this series and you care what happens to even the smallest of characters.
One of my all-time favorite series, from a wonderfully talented author.
One of my all-time favorite series. I absolutely love Neely Kate and Rose and all the shenanigans they find themselves dealing with
Enjoyed following Rose’s unfolding in the scary underworld of corruption and crime… Still reading the spin off “Rose Gardner’s Investigations”! Can’t wait for what’s coming next!
I absolutely LOVE The Rose Gardener Series! There are 9 books I believe in the first part of the series. Then it moves on to The Rose Gardener Investigation books. On the side are 3 Neely Kate books that are extremely important to the story. These characters feel like family members after all this time. Denise is such a good writer.
Rose Gardner and Neely Kate are my favorite new characters! Couldn’t wait to get to the next book in the series everytime I finished one. Have completed all of them, waiting on the next one to come out and feel lost! Lol
Great reading
I became so entranced that I bought the whole series. I cannot wait until the next one comes out in June.
This series started my love for reading in my adult life. I have referred SO many of my friends to like this series and everybody loves it as much as I do and it has really brought a bond between my sister and I. After every book we gush about what happened and speculate the next book. Definitely a great series to read.
This box set contains the first three books in the Rose Gardner Mysteries and a novella. I read the first book for free and I instantly wanted to read more about Rose. This was a great deal I could not pass up so I could read more of the books. I really enjoyed seeing how Rose has matured and changed throughout the series. I love the humor, …
