Roses Are Dead My Love

A Daisy and Rose Mystery

By: Penny Clover Petersen

Narrated by: Kim Rossi

Blackmail is an ugly word but an even uglier deed, and dragging Mickey Mantle into it is just plain un-American, not to mention deadly.

But things have been going well for the Forrest sisters. Their business is thriving, they have a handsome, slightly mysterious new neighbor, and best of all, they haven't found a dead body in more than six months.

Under the spell of an early summer heat wave, Old Towne seems to be cursed. A doghouse goes up in flames. Mail is being misdirected on an epic scale. The town has acquired an elusive jogger whose rather obscene indiscretions are frequent and obnoxious. Worst of all, there's an extortionist at work.

Suddenly, Daisy and Rose Forrest find themselves knee-deep in the middle of a sinister blackmail scheme. When the postmistress turns up bludgeoned to death, Rose is attacked in her own home, and their beloved dog is brutally duct-taped, the sisters know they have to get to the bottom of it. With their extraordinary mother, Angela, at their side, the ladies take on the hunt for an invaluable baseball card, a malicious prankster, and a blackmailing killer.

A delight

Daisy and Rose are a delight and their mother, Amanda is the olive in their cocktail. Who knew murder could be so much fun?

Roses Are Dead My Love

Blackmail can be deadly... an enjoyable cozy mystery where the Forrest girls save the day while enjoying their various beverages.

Penny Clover Petersen kept things interesting with all the twists and turns. I love how the humor was woven throughout.

I wasn’t a fan of all of the different voices that Kim Rossi performed, but overall it was performed well.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Now that's entertainment!!

I couldn't wait to find out what happened! The narrator did an amazing job at keeping me engaged with her voice adjustments and inflection. And the story! Wow! It kept me guessing and got me through a close to 10 hour drive that felt like half that. And the drink ideas!!! Who needs a bartender when the Forest sisters got you covered?

Daisy, Rose & Angela make the best trio!

Daisy & Rose are two sisters, and Angela is their mother. Angela is a little quirky firecracker, while Rose and Daisy each have their own playful personalities. They often butt heads in a way that creates a lot of comedic relief. These 3 make this series so special, and Kim does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. The mystery is fun and has plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing!

Fun Cozy Mystery

Kim Rossi did a good job with the narration. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
