Abby Rose is called by a small town sheriff to identify a young woman who had been in a terrible car wreck. The woman had Abby's card. An adoption investigator she researches the woman and finds many secrets that could be very threatening.
I like Abby and how she worked out a case that was much more complicated than she could have imagined.

When the police find Abby Rose's business card on the body of a severely injured accident victim, they turn to Abby for help in identifying the young woman. The answers Abby comes up with raise more questions. Abby's specialty is helping adoptees find their birth families, but the woman in question has apparently done this herself. Nobody knows anything about the life she lived between the time someone gave her up and the time she found her family. But her secrets are even stranger than Abby

For the first 3/4ths of this book, it was probably my favorite of the series. It seemed to have a maturity beyond that of the earlier books.
And then I got to the end. And it made no sense.
So I went back and listened to the end again.
My confusion is mostly my fault. When the large number of minor characters were introduced early on, some of them failed to make a significant impression. A key character was in this set.

The latest in the Yellow Rose series. I do enjoy these cozies, Leann does a good job of making them fun and interesting.
In this installment, Abby is asked to identify an accident victim who is in the hospital after a car accident. Her brakes had been tampered with so it's being investigated as a murder attempt. She doesn't understand why she's been called in to identify the young girl whom she has never met but soon finds out that her calling card had been found on the girl.

Leann Sweeney has a knack for writing characters who feel as though they could step out of the book and into your living room--and yet still believably have the adventures they do. Then she sets them in mysteries that avoid contrivances and the predictable, and wraps it all up into a satisfying journey and ending. Yum!

This was truly a book that I did not want to put down for any length of time. I was caught up in the story from page one and was satisfied by the end of the book.
Great writing, good dialogue, and lovable characters made this book flow for me.
I truly want to read more about 'Abby' and her friends/family.

This was decent for a quick, mindless read. It follows the usual mystery conventions and the heroine is the usual wise-cracking, junk-food-loving slob with a heart of gold. I was OK with all of that right up to the end when the mystery was solved and I just sat there thinking "You have GOT to be kidding me!"

Not as good as the first 4 of this series. Was fairly slow at first, then took off but left too many loose ends as far as I was concerned and accepting a con was too far-fetched.

Every book in this series has just been better, and wow, Bluebonnets did NOT disappoint! Talk about a tangled web...just sit back and enjoy the ride!

I like this author and her character. But this mystery took a twist that made me go "huh?" It didn't feel real or authentic. Too bad, because the rest of the book was good.

Well written mystery. The intrigue was pretty tricky and the characters enjoyable. Clean language. The 4 stars are for a book in this genre. It's definitely not classic material but quite in-depth for its kind.

Turns out that I really liked this series. The main character, Abby Rose, is a private investigator specializing in adoptions. The books were all mysteries and had fun plot twists.

Abby Rose, an adoption private investigator, tries to find the identity of a girl in a coma, who appears to have had someone kill her by disabling her car. A quick read mystery with some slow parts, a decent ending, and a lot of annoying "southern cliches."

solid mystery from a series I enjoy. I skipped a few, so there were some characters I hadn't seen before, but it was still easy enough to follow.

So sad to read the excerpt from her upcoming release and find that it is a different series. Bring back Abby Rose!
