I started this series by reading book three to review for Net Galley and when I came away hating it, I knew not reading books one and two had been a big mistake. So, I vowed to read the entire series straight through in order to give book three another chance. And I am glad I did. I really loved this series. I loved the characters once I got past my original negative view of it.
Rose Strickland and her band of cronies are just a hoot. Here are a few of my favorites: Ma and her son who run the breakfast diner where she works, Roxy and her blue hair, Axel and his stoner friend, Joe, and we can't forget self-confessed criminal/aka business magnet, Sullivan or Officer Andre "Hard Ass" Thomas. Anyone who loves a good mystery and isn't afraid to pay attention to the clues will really love these books.
Each book had a greatly plotted mystery that kept you guessing. My only advice would be to do a bit more of telling everyone more of who the characters are description-wise in books 2 and 3 so no one will come away really hating this wonderful series. I'm so glad I gave this a second chance. It totally deserved it. Thank you for this great series. I look forward to new mysteries in the Rose Strickland line.
Please give this series a try. It is published by an uber cool company called Henery Press.
I purchased books 1 and 2 with my own money and was gifted book three through Net Galley.
