New York Times and USA Today bestseller!

Book Six in the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Mystery series! 

Rose is called into action when Neely Kate’s cousin goes missing and the police refuse to take it seriously. But while the authorities—Rose’s ex-boyfriend, included—are certain the missing woman has run away, mounting evidence points to foul play. Rose agrees to help her friend, even if it means partaking in Neely Kate’s shenanigans, including an impromptu trip to a strip club. 

And because trouble never comes without a guest, Skeeter Malcolm, Fenton County’s newly crowned underground king, resurfaces, saying he needs Rose’s visionary gift to track down his enemies. He makes her the only offer she can’t refuse: The guaranteed safety of her assistant DA boyfriend, Mason Deveraux, who is being threatened by forces unknown. The Fenton County law enforcement is still abuzz about the infamous Lady in Black, who took part in the underground auction that earned Skeeter his crown. Can Rose risk a reprisal of her role? 

As the stakes continue to rise and the search for Neely Kate’s cousin becomes increasingly complicated, Rose must struggle to keep both her secret identity and her sanity.

Ratings and reviews

5 stars. I just can't get enough of these books. I love that Rose will do anything to help her friends even though it almost always lands them in some sort of trouble. It's great that we learn more about Skeeter and Neely Kate. The ebola incident with Neely Kate was so funny.

The story line is original and I love how each book in this series may have a similar theme (i.e. Rose gets sucked into some kind of crime story and then tries to find out the truth) but the stories are extremely different from book to book so you don’t get bored or tired of the series. Even the action, build up to suspense, and resolution differs in each book and I really think it helps you stay interested, and possibly obsessed. ;) Rose definitely gets into some shenanigans, some that you may have never expected Rose to get in on but I love seeing how Rose is still growing through each and every book. I think Neely Kate is starting to rub off on her too because you can see that Rose starts to pick up some of NK’s quick thinking and undercover tactics. This makes them three-dimensional characters and I feel like I know their own personalities like they are real people. All around, it’s another fantastic book by Denise Grover Swank!

Another great book. I love the mystery, crime and romance that this book brings. The sister relationship is heartbreaking wondering what will happen. Rose Is starting to really get in deep with the investigating. The trouble it brings and she always gets through it. But now with the ending, she is Stuck, I can't wait to see what the next book brings.
