Shoot from the Lip (A Yellow Rose Mystery #4)
by
Leann Sweeney (Goodreads Author)
The thought of working with a hot-shot producer and her TV crew is about as appealing to Abby as sticking her hand in a bucket of leeches. But "Reality Check" is a program that claims to turn American dreams into the real thing, and Abby figures that if anyone deserves that kind of bonanza, it's Emma Lopez, who has been raising her three younger siblings since her mother d...more

I found this to be one of the best books of a good series.
I like Abby, her boyfriend Jeff, and her sister Kate. I "know" them from previous books, and the fact Kate and Jeff were both acting out of character was part of what made this book interesting.
In this book, we were introduced to Emma, a strong young woman raising her younger siblings. She was a good, solid character that I enjoyed getting to know. We also had a variety of entertaining secondary characters that made me laugh (or wince) wh...more

Abby gets called when a new client enlists her help in finding her long lost younger sister. It seems that Emma's won a sort of home makeover from a network, but they have a little catch - they want to dig into the family's past and exploit the story of the long lost sister. But when the demolition crew shows up, the producers get more drama than they expected when the skeleton of a baby is discovered.

This book made my day! Abby has her sister back with her and Aunt Carolyn was just a hoot! The characters in the story were all a bit different and sort of all had things to hide and even though Abby is an Adoption Detective she managed to get herself, Kate and Auntie in double trouble -- along with almost everyone she got in contact with! Ending was so good, I even found myself crying! GREAT SERIES!!!
Abby Rose loves what she does....helping adoptees find their birth parents...but working with a TV crew isn't quite her cup of tea. As if the task isn't already difficult, now Abby has to deal with the tv people getting in her way...and of course there's always Aunt Caroline who's continually horrified at Abby's choice of career. Another wild ride!

I really liked this book, but the ending was a little to explicit for me. Vey CSI like. Awesome book, but too graffic for my tastes. I freely admit though that I am extremely sensetive to violence.

Fun read, even though I figured out who the villian was early on, the ride was still great fun.
3.6 - 3.8

Another good installment in the Yellow Rose Mystery series.
It was an interesting story.
A quick easy read.
Another great cozy read by Leann Sweeney. I really like this series. An heiress using her fortune to help others who were also adopted to find their biological family.
Great!!
They just keep getting better! Wow! What a great series with identifiable, likeable, and affable characters.
This was a strongly written mystery that makes me wait for the next one eagerly. The mystery was compelling and made the book a page-turner.
Excellent read.
Excellent read.
I just love this series; I am so glad I stumbled across the lovely Abby Rose. Capable, believable, and likeable, just when I think she's going to fall into one of the "bumbling unprofessional girl detective" stereotypes she averts disaster. EVERY time.
Well written mystery with enjoyable characters. There is a past history with the characters that is a little confusing, so I would advise reading the series in order. Clean language. It's definitely not classic material but fairly in-depth for its genre.
I think this series gets better and better. I don't know how Leann does it. I love these characters.
I have the next in the series to read. Keep them coming Leann.

I love when a mystery book is challenging but not impossible to solve. My favorite of the Yellow Rose Mysteries thus far.
Fun mystery. It has sort of a chick-lit feel to it though there is very little time spent obsessing about clothing or weight.
I enjoy this series and highly recommend it for a fun & easy read
Fun easy read, but nothing earth shattering.
