I’ve been reading stories by this author for many years now and I actually remember the very first book I read of hers. It was so different from everything I’ve ever read before that one. But it also left me pretty much addicted to her writing and her stories.
This New Orleans series has been one of my favorites so far and I absolutely love this story. Read on for my full review.
Buried Too Deep by Karen Rose
Series: New Orleans
Publisher : Berkley (August 13, 2024)
ISBN-13 : 978-0593638583
OVERVIEW:
Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
Employed as the nighttime security guard of Broussard Investigations, Phineas Bishop has been working through overwhelming PTSD episodes from his army service while still utilizing his military skills. But when a violent break-in occurs at the office, the accusatory eyes of the NOPD are on Phin, and he resolves to track down the intruder and clear his name.
Phin’s only lead is Cora Winslow, a spirited librarian who also needs answers. The body of her father, murdered twenty-three years ago, has just been discovered under a recently demolished building. So who has been sending her handwritten letters—written and signed by her father—every year since she was five? Someone wants to keep Cora in the dark. And now, they’re coming for her.
As Cora’s self-appointed bodyguard, Phin is surprised by his growing fondness for the woman and her fierce determination and research prowess. But New Orleans’s Garden District holds secrets as old as the streets themselves. With help from the entire Broussard P.I. team, Phin and Cora enter a labyrinth of fraud and homicide that threatens to bury them all.
Buried Too Deep by Karen Rose Review
I am super thankful that I was able to read the first and second story in the series although you really don’t have to. Rose does a wonderful job blending in prior story parts so that you don’t feel left out and you get that cohesive experience. I recommend reading at least the second book because it was perfect too.
This plot was great. She has the best pacing in her stories, and even though her books are massive, they go quickly because she has it down to science.
The pages are flying. The story is tight and interesting. The characters are phenomenal and I love the budding romance between the two main characters.
We’re dealing with PTSD and the compassion and chemistry between these two are just beautiful. Plus, we get the added bonus of SodaPop, the K9, who is also a fabulous character.
I can’t say enough good things about the story. It is definitely a page-turner. Twists are coming from all over the place that you really don’t see or expect.
This series has been addictive and Buried Too Deep is another intriguing addition to it and I can’t wait to read more by Rose.
