"I don't expect to find my daughter alive and well. I have resigned myself to the fact that she is dead and gone. All I want to know is what happened to her." (The Rose Garden)

Echo Rose is fearless. Feisty. Funny. She will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of the truth...
Dark, twisty, and highly addictive. Once you start you won't be able to put it down!
The Rose Box Set is a collection of four Echo Rose books.
The Rose Garden: Book 1
Ten years ago, a woman was taken for ransom and never seen again. Now another woman has been taken.
Grace Kelly Sanderson is living a quiet and mundane life as a call center agent. When a reporter is found badly beaten in a ditch, Kelly turns into her alter ego, Echo Rose, and begins searching for the people responsible. Meanwhile, Detective Skip Malloy is trying to solve the murder of a construction worker. When someone close to Skip is taken hostage, Echo becomes the only person who can help him.
The Rose Tattoo: Book 2
Seven years ago a man shoots himself in the head in his bedroom. Now another man is found dead in his bedroom from a similar gunshot wound.
Echo Rose has a new job and a place of her own. She feels it will be a great opportunity to be more independent and also make a mark for herself in a new city. But things don't work out as she had hoped for. Detective Skip Malloy is called in to investigate an apparent suicide, but the more Skip looks into it, the more he begins to question if it was self-inflicted. After another death, Echo and Skip must work together to solve a seven year old mystery.
The Rose Thorn: Book 3
Five years ago a man is executed for the brutal murder of a family. Now another family is found dead in a similar way.
Echo Rose is finally a reporter for a well-established newspaper, but things get off to a rocky start when office politics get in the way and Echo has to prove herself to everyone. Detective Skip Malloy is sent to investigate the death of a father, mother, and daughter. Skip's relationship with his partner is strained after he showed more loyalty to Echo during their last investigation. When a killer sets his sights on Skip and his family, Echo becomes the only person who can save them.
The Rose Water: Book 4
A young woman was seen entering a hotel but there is no record of her leaving it. Her body is soon discovered underneath a bridge leaving everyone baffled as to how she got there.

Good book!!
I loved all of the characters in this book/series!! Echo Rose/Kelly has a way of finding a mystery and digging in until she finds out the truth. She is an investigative reporter. She gets herself in some tight spots and helps out the law with their cases that ties in with what she is working on. It is a good suspense. Doesn't get boring.

I loved all his series books and ended with echo rose.
It was really neat to see how the stories all intertwined.
It felt like family by the time I finished.

The Rose Boxset by Thomas Fincham
I read this set of books out of sequence, but it didn't matter.
It is, I believe, a particular skill for a writer to pen 2 or more novels as a set and have them operate as stand alone stories as well. Mr Fincham has managed that with the Echo Rose Books. I love them all.
Rose was a secondary character in a series of books about a reporter who kept getting involved in solving mysteries and he found himself in a number of very interesting situations. Rose was usually part of these adventures.
As a spin-off from this Hyder Ali series I think the Echo Rose books worked.
It is a bit like a biological cloning operation. Pick-up a piece of DNA from one entity and develop a brand new organism. It was a neat trick.
There are enough links back to the reporter series, for those who had read them, to see how the characters had come together initially, and how they had developed.
At the same time the three books in this series were separate but also part of one bigger story.
Character driven rather than relying on highly convoluted and involved plots, these books were quite simple and on some levels a little too uncomplicated, or unsophisticated but, for me at least, there was enough to keep me turning the pages. What more could an author want.
Good work.
