Hell in a Handbasket

Rose Gardner Investigations, Book 3

By: Denise Grover Swank

Narrated by: Shannon McManus

Third installment in the New York Times best-selling Rose Gardner Investigations series.

They say the road to hell is paved in good intentions, and Rose Gardner can’t shake the notion she’s headed there in a handbasket. She feels responsible for the death of a woman she tried - and failed - to save with her visions, and though she intends to do the “right” thing and tell James Malcolm she can’t possibly accept his offer of a relationship, she hasn’t yet mustered the strength. Worst of all, her sister is terminally ill, and there isn’t a thing she can do to save her.

When a new case falls into Rose’s lap, she eagerly shifts her attention to someone else’s problems - except it’s Henryetta, and every person, and problem, is somehow connected. The case will bring her back into contact with James, whom she still hasn’t answered, and force her to confront her past in other unexpected ways.

Meanwhile, Rose and Neely Kate find themselves playing host to an unlikely house guest. Helping the stranger may require them to become more entangled with the crime world, something Rose knows she should avoid. She and Neely Kate have the very best of intentions, but are those intentions ushering them down a path they can’t easily leave?

Oh man

I absolutely love these books and the narrator does such an amazing job. Rose finds herself in even more trouble with this book, but the ending is oh-so-sweet. Enjoy y’all 😉

Rose’s story continues...hot and dangerous

As a Rose addict, I loved this story...its twists and turns. Rose is growing as a person as well as her understanding who she us. Nellie Kate, Jed, Violet, Joe and of course Hames ( Skeeter) ...and Mason returns with his own agenda. I totally recommend the Rose series which begins with “28 and a Half Wishes” - you won’t be sorry!

No spoilers

This is the second time I have enjoyed this book. First was read second i listen to it. Both were very good but the narration edged over reading MS McManus dose a fantastic job with the story telling along with the voices and I will be getting the rest in audio. As far as MS Swank she ALWAYS gives you a truly great book. It doesn't matter what she Wright's and recommend all her book.

Great

I love this whole series and the reader is great at making it come off the page

And she knocks it out of the park again

Absolutely LOVED! this book. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
