Story
I left a big-city police department for a fresh start in a smaller town. Less crime. Less murder. But three months later, I’ve been handed the murder investigation of the most hated man in town. The list of potential suspects is as long as Santa’s naughty list, but one name keeps popping up. Maddie Baker. She’s infuriating as hell, but is she a cold-blooded murderer? My instincts tell me no, yet I can’t exactly trust those. The last time I let myself presume someone was innocent, I ended up with a bullet wound and a broken heart.

Darcie Weatherby has a full plate - a preteen and sixteen-year-old twins, a wayward grandmother, a nightmare boss, and a manipulative ex-husband. The last thing she needs are hot flashes. Especially ones that start fires. Burning her boss’s house down was a total accident. Honest. It doesn’t take long before Darcie realizes she’s running on borrowed time. Unless she figures out a way to get these hot flashes under control, there’s a very good chance she’ll spontaneously combust at the Founder’s Day Masquerade Ball and leave her children motherless.

Story
Madison Avery is a young woman with a huge problem. From her penthouse apartment, she witnessed a murder in the building across the street, but by the time the police arrived, the crime scene had been wiped clean. Unfortunately Madison suffers from prosopagnosia - face blindness - so even though she had a clear view of the murder, she can't describe the victim or the killer. With no forensic evidence that a crime was committed and no description of the victim to match to a body, the police have no choice but to close the file.

Story
A smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper. Charley sees dead people. That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light”. But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all.

Love the characters and the book and the series
Of course being a Rose Gardner Mysteries groupie I love this book. Denise keeps you on the edge of your headphones. But the story and the characters grab your heart and wring it dry! Shannon McManus does such a great job! Love her doing the books.!I hope she continues with the books that follow on with these same characters.

No longer a must have series
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
There was zero romance in this book! It went from a quirky, fun mystery romance series to a monotonous murder book. The mystery was boring, the outcomes excessively violent and the plot to keep any romance from happening was forced (Neely Kate and Ronny, Rose and Mason, Rose and Skeeter, etc.) These books used to make me happy. Now I feel depressed by the end.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Sandra Browns latest, hands down! I also put Catherine Coulter's newest Sherlock and Savage book on hold and can't wait to get back to it!
What does Shannon McManus bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is amazing! The best thing about this book! Her voice is so pleasant and she has perfect variation for each character without making any characters annoying. Love her!
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
For sure...the closure on the JR Simmons issue finally happened.

Last but not least
This was a great final wrap up of Rose's story and a great lead in to her next chapter of life. I will say I find the long pauses between chapters to be very annoying.
