Publisher's summary

The final book of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling Rose Gardner Investigations series.

When a body shows up south of Henryetta, Rose knows trouble is on the horizon. Rufus Wilson worked for the county crime lord, Skeeter Malcolm, and she soon discovers Wilson had a special skill set - he could crack safes.

Now everyone is looking for Wilson’s girlfriend, including Rose, and it doesn’t take her long to realize Wilson’s murder might actually be connected to something else, something bigger. Hardshaw Group, a Dallas crime syndicate, is meeting a South American drug cartel in the county, only no one knows the time and place.

Denny Carmichael’s drug empire has a lot to lose if they move in, so now he’s calling in the favor he insists Rose owes him: Find him the time and location. Or else.

Rose is a hair’s breadth away from losing everyone she loves, including her six-week-old daughter, and she’ll do anything she can to save them.

Fantastic series finale

I'm really going to miss Rose and all the people in this series. I've been with Rose from the beginning and have seen her through everything. I feel like she's a friend. Thank you, Denise Grover Swank for writing such wonderful books. I can't thank you enough for putting them into audio and being able to hear Rose's voice from Shannon McManus all these years. Hopefully, it won't be goodbye forever to Rose and friends.

Well I agree with everyone else!

This has been hands down the BEST series Ive ever read or listened to. I was so invested in the story, I feel like I’m losing friends and leaving a life behind. I’ve never quite had that reaction to a book or series before. Ms Swank does such and outstanding job of developing the story and each character individually that you really feel like you know them. You feel their laughter or their pain or anywhere in between.
So many times I’m left with questions or just disappointed at the end of a long series. NOT HERE! Ms Swank took time to wrap up each and every character’s story til there were no questions left unanswered. At least I can’t think of any!
If she doesn’t win an award for this series, there’s a serious problem in the book world!!
Thank you Ms Swank for such a wonderful series and Ms McManus for making each one come alive with your individual voices.
I feel sad that it’s over! I hope maybe we’ll see them again some day!
In the mean time, we’ll see what Carly is up to!
Please don’t miss this series! You won’t be disappointed!

What an ending

The Rose Gardner mysteries have always been great. But this final episode was incredible. I couldn’t stop listening! I am sad to see this series end and it’s going to become one of my favorites to listen to over and over!

A fitting end to a fabulous series!

I was nervous to read this last book in the series partly because I really didn’t want the series to end and partly because I love this series so much that I was afraid of being disappointed. I should have known better, Denise Grover Swank has yet to disappoint me. It’s a great story that neatly ties up any loose ends and offers a perfect ending for such a great series. I’m glad I was introduced to Rose Ann Gardner and her interesting group of friends.

Loved The Whole Thing

I enjoyed both of the series very much, it was wonderful. I also listen to the Nealy Kate books. Both of the Rose Gardener series and the Nealy Kate books were very good. I think I'll listen to this series again to see what I missed.

Great Series Especially if…

…you read it with Neely Kate’s series. That adds so much to the story. The character development throughout The Rose Gardner Mystery series followed by this one, Rose Gardner Investigations, was really compelling. And the continuity of Shannon McManus narrating added to the whole experience.

Amazing series♡

I loved this series so much. I couldn't stop reading. I am a little disappointed that Rose didn't end up with James. I understand that Joe was the better man but James truly loved her to and had such a rough life growing up, that's why he turned to a life of crime. I loved reading how his relationship with Rose grew and gave him hope that maybe he could have love and family. My heart hurt for him when he risked it all for love and lost it all and was going to spend his life in jail. Maybe one day there could be an alternate ending for those of us (or maybe just me) that pulls for the other guy!

Great end to the series

I am going to miss Rose, but this was a great ending. Now to get caught up on Carly.

Engrossing

This was an great ending to a wonderful series!! I would recommend this audio book and the narrator was fabulous!

Perfect ending to all the series

This wrapped up everything in all the series, and it was very satisfying. The emotions were real!
