What Rose Forgot | 
so-soI don‘t know what it is but I had a little difficulty initially getting into this book. Once it got going it got better but I still felt my mind wandering and skimming in parts. Not a bad story though with some action, a funny, crafty character and a little bit of thrill thrown in!

Read and enjoyed this in September 2019.
pickI loved this! It's been awhile since I've read a suspenseful book that I did not want to put down. I love that the main character is an older woman. This book is fast-paced and even humorous at times.
I am offically on winter break!!! I plan on hopefully reading a lot of books! @sweetpealsd I got you #LMPBC book today. Can‘t wait to start it! 🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️
pickRose awakens in a memory care unit with an early onset dementia diagnosis and feels as though she is incarcerated. Then it becomes clear that things aren‘t what they seem. This is a good mystery with an overall serious tone but some good funny moments. I love Barr‘s Anna Pigeon series and this is just as good.

This is definitely a serious mystery, but it has some good light-hearted moments.
pick#24B4Monday #Scarathon #TeamSlaughter My first book completed and it is a psychological thriller so on point for my team! 68year old Rose wakes up having escaped from a memory care unit- as her system flushes the drugs she comes to realize she didn‘t belong there and something is wrong- and someone wants her dead-just because you‘re paranoid doesn‘t mean you are wrong! Love the characters- Rose is a bad a## and her 13 year old granddaughter rocks!
My next audio commute listen- her newest and I hear it is a stand alone - woman wakes up in a hospital gown and finds herself committed to an Alzheimer ward - with a would-be killer on her trail! Eek!
pickIs Rose Dennis demented or is someone trying to kill her? Humorous standalone. It starts out slowly with Rose as a crazy person at a nursing home. Someone is trying to kill her. Marion, her sister, is a computer/hacker recluse and with her 13 year old granddaughter, Mel, and Royal, Mel's friend, they hide Rose from the police. There is a lot of action as Rose is her own detective. Recommended! Thanks NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.
pickWowza! I really enjoyed this book- thank you, #NetGalley!! Rose comes to in a field, clad in a hospital gown and with huge gaps in her memory. Not even 70 years old, and aided by her teenage granddaughter, this is a delightful and surprisingly action-packed thriller as Rose picks ups the pieces of her life! Had it not been for a crazy night of terrible storms, I definitely would have read this in one sitting!
pickThe first third of the book did not do it for me. It was slow moving, and I did not like the writing style. But once Rose was attacked in her house, the book switched into high gear and I became more invested in the characters. I enjoyed the scenes with Rose and her granddaughter Mel. I wish we had more with Rose's sister Marion. She is an interesting character, but was barely in the book. The ending with the reveal of the bad guys was a surprise.
My TBR for August. I am currently reading What Rose Forgot. I am about 30% in. I‘m not loving it yet but I hope it gets better because I really like the author. I am really looking forward to The Whisper Man.
pickI‘m a huge Nevada Barr fan and love the Anna Pigeon series. When I heard there was a new stand alone novel, I jumped at the chance to get an ARC. I have to admit I almost bailed after the first few pages - they were quite disconcerting. I‘m so glad I stuck with the story. What a ride - even if it stretches the imagination a bit. Rose had to be in pretty good shape for a 65+ year old woman to survive the escapades that she gets into. A good read!
