The Rogue River series is a collaboration between Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, consisting of six novellas set in a small Oregon town. The series has been compared to a mix of Justified and Blue Bloods, centering on a law enforcement family in rural Oregon where long-held secrets and personal loyalties collide with criminal investigations. On Her Father’s Grave kicks off the story and establishes the setting and cast that carry through the rest of the Rogue novella universe.
Leigh and Elliot alternate writing duties across the novellas, with each author handling different viewpoint characters and subplots. The compressed novella format keeps the pacing tight, and readers can move through the full set quickly. The Rogue River series launched what became four connected novella sets, making it the foundation for a shared fictional world that the two authors built out over several years. Readers looking for a quick entry point into either author’s work will find these short, punchy stories a good place to start.
