Deadly Duo Mysteries

“Let me start by saying that if someone doesn’t make this into a movie, that will be a crime. Hemlock Lake is a seriously fast-paced novel that sucks you in.”

“It was past two a.m. when I finally put Hemlock Lake down and though I had to get up for work in four hours, I felt the book warranted the lack of sleep.”

“Written with a sharp eye on small town America and how the past infringes on the future, the book is highly recommended.”

“. . . an entertaining character driven thriller.”

“HEMLOCK LAKE is a well-written mystery.”

“Distinct, richly drawn characters, ominous cliffhangers, and ever-ratcheting tension prove Rose has the storytelling chops to deliver a good mystery.”

“There are many layers to this book, but it's the balance between family drama and local mystery that will likely appeal to most readers.”

“This is a very well written story.  While not an action-thriller, the tensions run high all throughout the book. Readers will have a hard time putting this down until the very end.”

“I recommend that you try this book—you’ll end up thoughtful about the human condition.”

“Rose has written not just a mystery but a well-rounded novel, one that deals with loss and change and our responses to them.”

“I laughed with nearly every turn of the page and was only disappointed when the book ended.”

“Crab cakes have never been so funny, or so pious. Lechery has never been so organic, and sewage has certainly never been so suspenseful.”

“Rose and Nettleton have a sharp eye for the absurdities of human behavior, and SOMETIMES A GREAT COMMOTION is the kind of witty mystery they do so well.”

“I highly recommend The Big Grabowski, and not just for readers who enjoy a well-written cozy but also for aspiring writers who need help in developing characters. Rose and Nettleton make it look easy.”

“These characters are outstanding and unforgettable!”

“It has the local color and humor of a Carl Hiaasen novel, a list of suspects with behaviors that run the gamut of human nature unlike Christie’s prim and proper Brits, and an ambitious sleuth/reporter that only wants to get out of town as rapidly as possible, as unlike Mrs. Marple as one can imagine.”

“Mystery readers will absorb this book as I did and look forward to more.”

“I couldn't live Paladin's way, but I'm glad he's out there. I look forward to his next appearance.”

“Rose drew on her years working in television newsrooms for this book and her expertise shows.”
