About this ebook

Book eight in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Rose Gardner Mystery series.

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 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.

Ratings and reviews

Another amazing Rose story! After the cliff hanger in 34.5, I was more than ready to find out how Rose gets herself out of her current mess. She might have three men claiming to want to protect and save her, but it's really all Rose. Her brains, strong will, and fierce desire to protect the ones she loves stood out above all. It's hard to believe Rose is the same woman she was in 28.5 Wishes. I can't wait to read the next one!

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.

Here I am again reading into the dead of night as I cant put this book down and just wanting to read it as fast as possible, I have now fallen in love with the criminal underworld with Skeeter and Jed being my fave criminal book crush! My heart has been ripped up and hashed about leaving only ny thoughts until 36.5 is released in may 2016!!
