Thirty and a Half Excuses - Paperback

by Denise Grover Swank (Author)

The third book in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling 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 eighty-two-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.
