Editorial Reviews


"I'm now an intrigued fan of Ms. RoseFirst Line: 'Lauren, quick, call 911, there's a dead body out here in the garage!' Lauren Staab, daughter of Jensen Staab - the owner and mortician of Staab and Blood Funeral Home, finds navigating through murder victims, drug cartels, the funeral business, her mother's secrets, her personal love relationships, and a ghost that won't leave her alone a bit taxing. I adore Ms. Rose's characters, but most especially Lauren. Who knew life could lead a person into a parade of major and sometimes traumatic events that would forever change her life?This book instills a refreshing way to enjoy a darn good mystery, portrays a nice dollop of the paranormal, and acquaints romance with a realistic twist and kick. I'm an intrigued fan and look forward to reading her next mystery: )" Sandra Cox


5.0 out of 5 stars "Full of Twists and TurnsDeadly Undertaking is full of unexpected twists and turns. And the Sta(a)b and Blood Funeral home is the perfect place for them. There's more in the funeral parlor than dead bodies, including a friendly ghost to keep things moving along. This book was a fun read, full of romance, murder and mayhem."
