Neely Kate Mystery series is a companion book to the Rose Gardner Investigation series. Neely Kate Coulson’s life is a carefully built house of cards—and now her newly discovered half-sister is threatening to collapse it. While everyone thinks Kate Simmons was neutralized when she was incarcerated in a psych ward, Neely Kate knows better. Her sister has been sending her letters threatening to expose her past, only Neely Kate has stuffed so many secrets into every available crack and cranny, she has no idea which ones could be dragged into the light. Growing up with an abusive, drug addicted mother taught Neely Kate to play the game—to be whoever she needs to be in whatever situation she finds herself in. But thanks to her best friend, Rose, she’s discovered she mostly prefers being herself. For the first time in her life, she has a lot to lose—a job, a plan for the future, and an adoring half-brother who happens to be the Chief Deputy Sheriff of Fenton County. But topple one card down, and all of them will fall. Everything she’s built could be lost in an instant. Neely Kate knows she needs help, but when she reluctantly turns to Rose’s bodyguard, Jed Carlisle, she faces a far more dangerous threat—only this time her heart is on the line.

This is the first Neely Kate Mystery book - a 3 book companion series from Rose Gardner's world (Rose Gardner Mysteries and Rose Gardner Investigations). Neely Kate is the main character in this series and she is one of the best developed characters that Denise Grover Swank has ever created, in my opinion. You can't help but fall in love with Neely Kate Rivers Colson's warm, tenacious, and lively spirit. She's the best friend that Rose Gardner could ask for during a time in her life when they both need that. In this book Neely Kate (NK) sets off for her childhood hometown to hopefully dissolve of some shady secrets that have become unburied. She's accompanied by Jed Carlisle, a man with his own shady past. This is where they first start to fall for each other and how Jed cares about NK is so sweet it makes my heart melt. He's very protective of her and is made of the stuff that we would qualify as great book boyfriend material. swoon
I'm sure the Neely Kate Mystery series can be read outside of the other books in Rose Gardner's world, but I would recommend that it be read alongside them in the reading order list that can be found on Denise Grover Swank's website.
