- "Thorns of a Red Rose" by RoseMeade
- by Virtuoso Book Distribution
This gruesome mystery takes place first in El Paso, Texas and then in Charleston with many of the characters living very horrific lives. You'll read some scenes that cause you to slam the book down... only to pick it up and begin again later. If you find yourself believing you have the plot figured out, continue to the next chapter. You will find that you may have missed one last detail. Our advice, don't read “Thorns of a Red Rose” while trying to fall asleep, unless you’re the type of reader that “just can’t put the book down.”
