About this listen

The third book in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling Rose Gardner Mystery series.

One suspicious preacher in town. Thirty excuses for Rose to dig up the truth.

Life in Henryetta, Arkansas, is turned upside down with the arrival of a televangelist, but it’s the death of a little old lady on Rose’s street that catches her attention. The Henryetta police deem her death natural causes, but Rose suspects foul play, and so does an unlikely supporter - the president of the Busy Body Club, her 82-year-old neighbor Mildred.

But Rose is in the middle of opening her nursery with her sister, Violet, who’s separated from her husband, Mike, as well as stalling her boyfriend Joe’s family, rich socialites who are determined to meet her. Along with her multiple encounters with Fenton County’s new assistant DA, Mason Deveraux III, it’s just another day in the life of Rose Gardner - chaos.

But I have to stop yelling at my phone when the characters piss me off. They can’t hear me.

I’m loving the series
