Summary: "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 eighty-two year old neighbor Mildred."
Thirty and a Half Excuses is the 3rd installment of the Rose Gardener Mystery series, and it made me cry! I loved the first book in this series because it was ridiculous and hysterically funny but this one....whew. What a tearjerker! I hope the rest of the series has more quirky and lighthearted moments!

Twenty-Nine and a Half Reasons picks up Rose's story, and continues in the goofiest ways possible. Although it wasn't as clever or charming as the first one, this sequel still had some laugh out loud moments. Rose's determination and tenacity shine brightly, and some fun, new characters are introduced. I hope they stick around!

Summary: "For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She's had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone's toilet's overflowed, but she's never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: there isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect."
Wow - I loved this book much more than I anticipated! I thought it would be a casual read, but it sucked me in and I couldn't put it down. Rose is witty and brave, and I love her spirit. I will definitely keep reading this series, if I can get my hands on it!
