A fun read with three story lines going and interlocking. Echo the reporter who loves her job, but wants to find info of her birth parents who died in car accident when she was 5 months old as she she was adopted. Bud a police detective who has two cases he is working : a cold case that an old policeman wants to solve before he will retire, and a recent murder that he can’t figure out how she vleft the hotel without being seen. Then there is Callaway a private detective who wants to assist Bud in solving his recent murder case as it is very similar to a murder case that Callaway has been working on for a private client.

Love Me Some Echo Rose

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021

Hopefully this is not the last book in the Echo Rose series since it was definitely my favorite. It was pretty suspenseful from start to finish, and it left you guessing until the very end. Since Skip Malloy, one of the main characters in books 1-3, is on vacation, we get to see his partner Bud Smith assume the lead dectective role. Like other books in this series there are multiple investigations occuring simultaneously, and in the second half of the book we get a real treat when private investigator Lee Callaway takes on a major role. If you know Lee from his own series then his character is portrayed exactly how you expect it to be. If you have not yet had the opportunity to read any of the Lee Callaway books then this a great introduction to his character. One thing I really enjoy about these books is that the characters are so down to earth and relatable. Take Echo for example. She's not some superhero who does the impossible. Instead, she's your normal, albeit a little eccentric, girl next door who just happens to be an enthusiastic reporter. As I said in my opening statement, I really hope this series continues since it keeps getting better and better.

As his partner recuperates, Bud is left to suffer with the dinosaur of detectives - but gets a different perspective as times passes. In the meantime, a private investigator confronts a solitary Bud about another new homicide case comparable to one the P. I. was hired to investigate by the victim’s family.

I enjoy reading this book kept my interest throughout the entire story. Very well written the best is its about several stories but they all link to each other. I would recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries.

Since I didn’t start at the beginning of the series I imagine some of the story was lost on me but there’s enough there to get me hooked. Interesting characters, good plot (actually two plots), enough of a back story to get me interested, fast-Moving. I’ll be back for what now amounts to prequels. Enjoy the read and the ride.

A story of an unusually clever serial killer who preys and kills young women at five-star hotels and smuggles their bodies out in a big rolling suitcase, thus avoiding detection. The case is solved by Bud and Hoffman for the police with help from Echo Rose and Lee Callaway

Follow Echo Rose, a journalist, as she helps catch a serial killer in America. Although this is the 4th novel in the series, it can be read as a standalone. I have not read any books by Thomas Fincham before and I was not put at a disadvantage.

Thomas’s writing style is different to most authors of crime thrillers. He writes in a crisp tabloid style, that gets all the content across clearly and quickly. The Rose Water is easy reading with very short chapters and paragraphs. It is great if you want to read a book in small, short snatches.

All the elements of a good story are in The Rose Water. There is a good range of characters, with lots of back story and many subplots that have nothing to do with catching the serial killer. There is an awful lot going on in this book, it is not just the hunt to find the serial killer. I loved all the social commentary thrown into this novel. I also liked all the little bits about people’s job that added great context to this novel. There is also some nice humour and dialogue between the characters. I liked how Echo Rose is not a glamourous bimbo but a woman with a brain and a journalistic lust for the truth behind a story.

The plot concerning the serial killer was fair but the joy of this book is all the other subplots running along at the same time. You get the full story in this novel and all the characters are kept busy doing this and that. There are no lazy moments in this novel when characters are on a weekly rest period!

I enjoyed reading The Rose Water and although it is not outstanding it is still an entertaining read with no boring bits or padding out of the scenes. I consider The Rose Water to be a GOOD read, so it gets 4 stars from me.
