Rosemary Run Series: Books 1-5
The first five suspense-filled novels in Kelly Utt's popular Rosemary Run Series—now together in one ebook package!
Does Cate have a dangerous stalker? Does someone know Bea’s darkest secret? Will Marcheline’s lie come back to haunt her? The women of a California town face the darkness hiding beneath their community’s picturesque facade in this box set of nerve-shattering psychological thrillers.
If you like thriller hits such as Shari Lapena's A Stranger in the House, Liane Moriarty's The Husband's Secret, Sandie Jones' The Other Woman, and A.J. Finn's The Woman in the Window, you won't be able to put down the suspense-filled Rosemary Run Series.
1. HER DEEPEST FEAR
Cate Brady almost had it all. Now she's reeling from the shock of her husband's sudden death and suspects she's being followed.
Is she in danger? Will she find the answers she reluctantly seeks? And what will it all mean for her future?
2. HER HIDDEN PAST
Bea Hughes had put the past behind her. Until an anonymous caller phoned to say they knew what she'd done.
Should she confess after all these years? Should she cover her tracks? And can she do it while keeping her high-profile marriage to a public figure out of the headlines?
3. HER BOLDEST LIE
When a decades-old letter gets mailed without Marcheline Fay's permission, the lie she told might not be enough to keep them safe.
Will he come after her? How will she face his accusations without sacrificing her hard-earned business empire? And will her family ever look at her the same?
4. HER DARKEST HOUR
Startling situations she can’t remember and missing chunks of time send Eve Blackburn’s life into a dangerous free fall.
Is she being framed? Should she tell her husband? And how will these dramatic developments affect the baby they’re trying desperately to conceive?
5. HER BURIED SECRET
Penelope Cline and her three closest girlfriends have a deadly secret. A woman disappeared under mysterious circumstances at a party they attended, and they know more than was reported.
Should she speak up and report what she knows? Will bad things happen to her if she doesn't? And will telling the truth cost her the friendships she holds most dear?

Tales of a town
I enjoyed reading about the characters who live in Rosemary Run. The five books feature different sets of residents, but there are some locations and people that are intertwined throughout the books. A good book for people who like characters that ring true. I look forward to reading more stories set in Rosemary Run.

Ridiculous.
Sorry, I am certain the author worked very hard on this series,
however most of it was in my mind simply ridiculous. The situations were unbelievable, the female characters bounced from loving someone in a relationship one day, to changing their mind, and loving someone else the next day. Poor grammar, absurd dialogue. Just silly.

Thrillers
I love this series. Each book is different enough to easily
Keep them separate but have all the same feel. The fourth book is a bit odd in comparison to the others. A touch of thriller and romance that leaves you guessing throughout

Great box set
These books were good thrillers. Each book kept you on your toes until the end. Lots of action and suspense. Great main characters. Would definitely recommend this author.

A Good Deal on a Good Read-the Box Set
I've read all of these books individually, and each one stands alone on its merits. If you're a fan of sustained suspense, page-turning twists, and emotion wrenching relationships, this is for you!
The stories are situated in Rosemary Run, a quaint little wine-producing town, where its citizens revel in emotional, psychological, and suspenseful circumstances.
With a general cast of revolving and recurring characters, the reader is led in a masterful circle of suspense and seemingly complicated circumstances that resolve to an unpredictable but often delightful conclusion.
Don't miss out! Get started with the whole set, and you won't be able to put them down!

I've read all these books separately and enjoyed them all. They all take place in Rosemary Run but are separate stories so it doesn't matter what order you read them in. They are domestic thrillers, exciting to read with twists at the end that you don't see coming. Once you start one of the books you won't want to put it down until you get to the final twist at the end. I would definitely recommend these stories to read and the box set makes a good value.

The first five books in this psychological suspense series. What I love about these books is that each one could be read as a standalone. I also like that the books are individually about specific people or families that live in the small community of Rosemary Run but are tied together by characters that play a peripheral role role in the series such as the mayor or police detectives.
Definitely a don't miss series!

Great Reads
Overall really enjoyed all five books. I was a bit out off by the first book and almost threw in the towel. It was unreal that the heroine would jump into bed with someone a week after her husband died and then stay with him when he was set to arrest her? Really lost respect for her, but the story ends well. Loved the other books. l

Really enjoyed these individual stories all with the same town feel. Really enjoyed the differing characters and their storylines. A couple of the characters were a little lacking in substance but excellent read in general

First 4 books only I recommend
Would have been an excellent read if it hadn't been SPOILED for me by the author's abuse of Almighty GOD's Name and His word *Holy*. This is blasphemy and is NEVER acceptable. Minus 1*
Book 5 - putrid😠
Between the Blasphemy and the explicit sex . . . Didn't bother to read past Chapter 8. In fact not even that far. I usually find this author's books good. Not this one😠
I'm looking forward to reading future stories - without Blasphemy and explicit sex please. Amazes me that a woman would write this filth

Best Series......
I have read in quite some time. Each story is different, quite different, but all have a happy, sometimes with loss, ending. They keep you reading into the wee hours. All are searching for something and found that something. Well written suspense, detailed information, keeps moving forward rather quickly, recommended for everyone!!

A Thought Provoking Series
Life choices, deep emotions, childhood trauma & mental illness are some of the the issues covered. A blend of characters mixed up in twisty plots and romantic encounters are brought to life. A fun read that also brings out social issues and provokes deep thought.

Poorly written
I’m so glad I checked this out on KU, I was intrigued with the blurb. Only finished the first story. Poorly written, plot could have been so much more. Characters are unbelievable. Just no on so many levels.

July 13, 2020The stories in this series are inconsistent, some endings felt rushed. While I did finish the set, I had no interest in reading anymore of the Rosemary Run series.
Currently reading
August 16, 2020Thrills but no chills. I like these because they provide the thrill without being too scary.

I know it’s a story but really far fetched.

I gave this a four star, and that might have been shoving it a bit.
Each of these could be stand alone books. Had I read the first one by itself, I probably wouldn't have read the rest of them.
The first one was really unbelievable. What kind of a woman sleeps with a man when her husband has only been dead for a week?
All of these stories had women in them that was "hot to trot." Not my favorite kind of book.
But to be honest, all these books had a different story line and was fairly interesting.
I was glad when the last book was over.
