"The most likeable amateur sleuth to come along in years."—Rick Riordan
Book Description
Out of school, out of work, and out of motivation, Abby Rose is contemplating her life and wondering what to do next. It's the kind of situation that would get some girls down, but luckily Abby's got a heart the size of Texas-and a bank account to match. But when she discovers the gardener dead in her greenhouse, Abby realizes what she needs to do with herself: she needs to solve a murder...
The sun could have melted diamonds that day, and I spent the afternoon poolside, wasting away in Liptonville for the thirtieth time in a month. Read the first page

Great Debut,
By
This review is from: Pick Your Poison: A Yellow Rose Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished PICK YOUR POISON by Leann Sweeney. I'm a Texas girl myself, so I always look forward to reading anything set in my native state. When Abby Roses' gardener, Ben, is murdered Abby shakes of the grief and lethargy brought on by her father's death a few months earlier and determines to find the killer. Abby's sleuthing takes her from Houston, to Galveston, and to the rural community of Shade, Texas. She discovers that her questions impact not only the murder investigation, but also her own life, even her own identity. There's a nice touch of romance and a great set up for Abby's sleuthing to transition into many more adventures. I'm looking forward to more!

This review is from: Pick Your Poison: A Yellow Rose Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I was hooked from the first page. It was a smooth read, no jumping back and forth, good flow. The characters were believeable as were their actions. Reading this book was like watching the story unfold right in front of your very eyes.I've recommended this book to friends and am eagerly awaiting the next one.

Fantastic New Amateur Sleuth Series,

This review is from: Pick Your Poison: A Yellow Rose Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Thirty-year-old Abby Rose is simply out of motivation. She's finished with school, and doesn't really do much for work, seeing as her Father's technology business (which was left to her and her twin sister, Kate, when he passed away) pretty much runs itself. So she spends her days lounging by the pool, and wondering what she could possibly do next with her life. That is, until Abby is hit with another tragedy, when she discovers her gardener, Ben, dead in the greenhouse one afternoon. But when a cute detective from the Houston Police Department informs Abby that Ben's death wasn't accidental, but murder, Abby realizes that she'll finally have something to do with her time: solve a crime. And, much to the chagrin of everyone close to her, Abby does just that. But what she doesn't expect to do when investigating Ben's death, is unlock secrets about her own past, that just might change her future.I will admit that initially the cover is what attracted me to this wonderful new batch of mystery fiction known as PICK YOUR POISON. However, the story is what kept my interest. From page one Abby was a fun, interesting character, who was filled with spunk and childlike innocence. Her constant talk about iced tea and lemonade, and her love for hacking into computer systems will keep readers laughing out loud until the very last page is turned. Leann Sweeney has created a remarkable new series, filled with a captivating, young, amateur sleuth by the name of Abby Rose. I am now eagerly anticipating the release of A WEDDING TO DIE FOR.
