A must-add to popular mystery collections.” —Library Journal (starred review)“The Rose Arbor is a lovely story that reminds us of how life isn’t perfect, but not all missteps lead to tragedy…There’s an underlying intelligence about this tale that is inspiring in its execution and charming in its delivery. It is nearly impossible to open the book without becoming totally immersed in Liz’s life and story.” —Bookreporter“The Rose Arbor is a complex and intriguing mystery that dares the reader to unravel the clues before the protagonist, London reporter Liz Houghton, with plenty of intrigue for any seasoned mystery reader, and smart, exquisite prose for those who luxuriate in the beauty of the written word. Take it on your vacation, but be prepared for late nights.” —Robert Dugoni, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series and A Killing on the Hill
