Rose Gardner has survived plenty of close scrapes in the past, but her latest bit of trouble has landed her in the Fenton County holding cell on trumped up charges. The most powerful man in southern Arkansas, J.R. Simmons, is determined to put her behind bars for good and destroy everything she holds dear, including her boyfriend, Mason, and her friend Skeeter, reigning king of the Fenton County … County crime world. In a stunning betrayal, it seems as if J.R.’s son, Rose’s ex-boyfriend, might have turned tail and joined his father. But Rose doesn’t have to face this fight alone. Her tight-knit group of friends is dedicated to helping her figure out-and foil-J.R.’s plan for ruining her, Mason, and Skeeter. But even with their support and the use of her special power, Rose is at a disadvantage. J.R. is a criminal mastermind who has been using his money, power, and web of influence to hide his conspiracies for years. How can she hope to find solid evidence implicating someone who’s mastered the art of not getting caught? Time is running out, and soon Rose realizes that reassuming her role of the Lady in Black might be her only chance at ferreting out the evidence that will save them all. In so doing, she will risk not only her life, but the possibility that her secret identity will be unveiled to all.

So much going on this book, can’t sleep from the constant suspense.
JR finally pulled his blackmail on Rose and she was arrested. So many questions come up as why Joe betrayed everyone (was he always planning this?) will charges go through for Rose, who is after Mason, will Skeeter be destroyed as well? What’s going to happen next!!
Oh My Stars and Garters, the twists and plot thickens. This storyline is nowhere near where the beginning of the series started. It just keeps getting better and better.
Amazing adventure but shock has me needing time to absorb it all.
I love this whole series……one of my very favorites!
WOW! This book was all the bells and whistles. I can’t believe the things that happened in this book. It has taken a few days to even process. If you haven’t read any of these books go back and read from the start. You will not be disappointed. This was a fast read. You will want to go back and read again. I Loved the ending only bc I feel Rose needs a break. I’m think I’m still in a haze as to some of the stuff going on. If you are looking for a fun filled, laugh out loud, nail biting, strong charterers, well written, Loved by everyone, list can go on….Book then run now to read.
The ending… my heart is hurting. I wasn’t sure where or how this book was going to go. The last 20% of the book, I may have ignored my husband a little. I had to keep reading. I had to know how the meeting went. I love how Rose is becoming so much bolder and growing into this amazing person who doesn’t take no crap! I’m so anxious to start reading the next book! See you on the other side!
Wow! What a great read! How does Denise continue this series in such an exciting way that just keeps getting better?! In Thirty Five and a Half Conspiracies, Rose goes head to head with JR Simmons. He is dead set on destroying her whole world and all of the people in it. Who can Rose trust? JR is a criminal mastermind, who always gets away with his wrong doings. After retiring the Lady in Black, Rose returns to the “dark side” to save herself and those she loves. I have loved Rose Gardner from the very first book, and I am in awe of how much growth and maturity she has shown over time. She always finds a way to prevail, even when all the odds are stacked against her. This book holds the most intensity and suspense in my opinion. What is going to happen next? Denise will keep us guessing book after book.
This series is one of the best I have ever read and this book definitely didn’t disappoint. Rose has grown so much from the first book and each book keeps getting better and better!
Amazing book! Things are moving forward with all things JR related. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat as things are revealed and details become clear. DGS gives us all the emotions! Storylines end in this book while new ones are developed. So worth it! A page turner!!
I love the entire Rose Gardner series and I also loved Thirty-Five and a Half Conspiracies! So many loose ends were tied up and some questions were finally answered. This book picks up after the bonus chapters of Thirty-Four and a Half Predicaments. I do not want to give away spoilers but this book was definitely exciting and also heartbreaking. I enjoyed reading about Rose dealing with JR and his schemes. I like seeing Rose become a stronger person and stand up for herself and those she cares for. She still has some growing up to do and I am ready to see how she handles the aftermath of the events in this book.
I am a fan of Skeeter and Jed so I am glad that they are becoming more important characters and I enjoy seeing their growth. I can see how Rose seems to be having a positive effect on them and they have both come to truly care for and respect Rose. I am conflicted on my feelings about Joe and Mason but I am curious to see where their characters are going in the next book. I am also ready to find out what Kate is up to and to see if Hilary is going to stick around Henryetta. I cannot wait to read the next (and last) book in the Rose Gardner Mystery series.
Honestly, I think this was the best one of the series yet! I am still reeling and to say the least I was quite literally speechless! This book is a game changer. I am literally blown away by Denise’s talent. I can’t even begin to imagine how she does it all every time! She can run you through an emotional roller coaster, is still able to leave you wanting more, AND you love her for every bit of it! Her characters have become so real that you are truly invested in them. Drama, action-packed, suspense, mystery, pure adrenaline, hilarious and heartache…how can all of these be in just one book?! Thirty-five did not disappoint. I am anxiously awaiting Thirty-six!
What a wild ride!! Every Rose Gardner Mystery book gets better and better. This book will not disappoint. Every page is a new twist. Can Rose trust Joe will she have to confess to being Lady in Black. My heart was sad, happy, scared, and broken throughout this book. Rose grows stronger with each book and each heartbreak. I am looking forward to see her growth in the next book.
