The Rose Gardner Investigations series continues Rose Gardner’s story beyond the original mystery series. Starting with Family Jewels in 2016, the eleven books follow Rose as her investigative work becomes more organized and the cases more complex.
The series runs through 2024, making the Rose Gardner world one of the longest-running in Swank’s catalog. Readers should start with the original Rose Gardner Mystery series for the full background on Rose and the Fenton County community before jumping into the Investigations line.
