Rosemary remembered
by Susan Wittig Albert
Rosemary remembered pulls you into the quiet, herb-scented world of China Bayles, only to shatter it with a chilling discovery.

This isn't just about solving a crime; it's about peeling back the veneer of a community, revealing the lies and simmering resentments beneath. If you enjoy a mystery driven by a determined, sharp-witted protagonist who isn't afraid to dig into the darker corners of human nature, all set against a deceptively cozy backdrop, this book offers a satisfyingly intriguing and suspenseful read.
