Roseland Boxed Set: Volumes 1-3
Secret Societies, Serial Killers, and a Seriously Snarky PI.
When Ginger Mitchell finds out her mother committed suicide, she packs up her life as a Vegas "dancer" (hey, somebody's gotta do it) and drives her cherry-red SUV straight home to Portland. Without a disapproving mom to rebel against, what was the point?
When she arrives back in her hometown, she finds a lot more going on than fancy food trucks and put-a-bird-on-it hipsters.
Murders are being passed off as suicides.
College-aged women keep going missing.
And then there's the troubling spate of mobsters who keep inviting her out to eat.
With a pile of cash saved from her last job and no one around to tell her not to, Ginger decides to become a private investigator, to find out exactly what's gone wrong in the City of Roses. First Her mother's "suicide."

I would totally watch a TV show based on this
I pretty much read this is one sitting (as much as you can with 3 books and 2300 pages). I'm a fan of Eric Ugland's litRPG series and this contains the same humor that I've come to love. I would love to read more.

Mesmerizing!
All progress on all projects, work and life in general stopped for two days while I read these books. The characters are fresh and engaging. Its clever, fast moving and thankfully no ooey gooey romance. Ginger and Rhino are way too busy fighting an unparalleled cast of bad guys. Ginger doesn’t have a whiney-I’m helpless-I’m just a girl bone in her body. She’s smart, resourceful, brave and generally my hero. Loved these books. Please hurry with book 4.

I love Eric Ugland's writing
I've read all his published works and I'm a fan. He builds believable characters. His dialogue makes sense. And he can build a scene without 14 pages of description. I respect that. His books often have a cast of characters, but they're distinct. I never find myself needing to scan back to identify a character. Thank you Eric. Keep em coming😊

Very enjoyable, with a nice payoff at the end
Fun, enjoyable heros, and snarky, over the top villains.
There is nothing deep, dark and dangerous, nothing that will challenge you to solve it, just a straightforward, fun read, with enough danger and weirdness to keep you entertained.

I had no idea what I was getting into. Glad I did.
I was going through an author I likes other books. I usually do fantasy. This is not. I listen to books while I work. I give new books an hour or two to get my interest. I laughed a lot and was never board. I had to take a break after a week but that's 8 hours a day for a week. I highly recommend this. It's a lot of fun.

Fun romp through crime and families
Cool twisted and convoluted- loved all the ancillary mysteries and cases - the long run was not the highest quality of the short ones - enjoyed the core characters - a little sad about the slut shaming when it started so sex worker positive

An excellent thriller. Smart and Sassy
An engrossing smart story. I read it in exclusion to any other entertainment option. Who would have thought a retired escort/stripper could be so BAD.

Very good read, moved through the series quickly.
It’s disappointing that the heroine was a prostitute to begin with and awkward realizing the author is a man. Why did he pick that career for her.

AMAZING - Watch the Crime
Ginger and Rhino solve crimes. They unfold and you are watching it happen and smiling and enjoying every moment of the story. I did not want the volumes to end.......

A great read
Not Micky Spillane but closer than many others I’ve read. Modernized with a tough female lead that keeps living in interesting times. Adventures of many kinds taking place in Portland before the mess they have now.
