For the Birds by Denise Grover Swank Book Summary

Book two in the New York Times best selling Rose Gardner Investigation series. 

Book two in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Rose Gardner Investigations series.

Rose Gardner is trying to build a new normal. One that leaves the Fenton County crime world—including James “Skeeter” Malcom, the current king—behind. Her best friend and roommate is a big part of that effort, but Neely Kate is busy building her own life anew. She disappeared for a few days, scaring the spit out of Rose—which is why Rose finds it impossible to deny her when she suggests they look for a missing parrot. Only this time Neely Kate isn’t interested in the reward money; she’s set them up to work with a cranky private investigator known as Kermit the Hermit. Rose sees it for what it is: another bid for them to become private investigators.

If nothing else, it’s a good distraction…until one of James’s nemeses, Buck Reynolds, comes calling for help. James’s brother has gone missing, and Wagner is number one on the crime king’s suspect list. Only, according to him, he’s innocent. 

Rose had promised herself she was through with the crime world, but she wants to see his James’s brother safe. Besides, can she really say no when she might be the only one who can keep order in the county?

Family Jewels (Rose Gardner Investigations #1)

Nail biter!!. This is my favorite book in the series so far!! Absolute favorite. This series is so captivating that it is seriously a nail biter. I couldn't wait to see what happens next and I could not put the book down. It is definitely a page turner and that's what I love about Denise's books. I absolutely love Rose's world and there were definitely several "bombs" that were dropped in this book. Love it!!

Awesome!!. Just WOW! I have a book hangover that is going to last awhile. As always, with any of Denise's books, I was immediately swept into the story and couldn't put it down. It was great to be back in Henryetta with my friends (cause trust me that is what they feel like). I love how Rose has grown and become more confident of herself. She is a far cry from the naïve, timid girl we met in the beginning of the Rose Gardner Series. I went through all of the emotions while reading this book. Still processing things that happened. I'm anxious to find out how what happens next in her life. Waiting for the next book is always torture.

Mason and Rose. Loved the mystery serious. Couldn't put them down read them all in a week, but I think she she should be with Mason. He treated her as an equal and even let her go to let her figure out what she wanted even if it broke him. Joe is a "first love" who she loves but he's not the one for her. Skeeter to me isn't believable. He's a Murder and a criminal when you get down to it and yes he has a soft spot but what are they going to do settle down and have babies while daddy is out running the underworld and pushing drugs? Don't get me wrong he is a great character as is Jed, but how can she be madly in love with Mason and agree to marry him then just move on to skeeter no prob....

:). Rose and Neely Kate have done it again!! And my my James and Jed! Denise I am so addicted to your books I reread them all the time and I never get bored. I hope Rose and Neely Kate books never go away!

Home run!. Once again Denise delivers a truly amazing story! I can’t wait to read the next books in this series. Another book that is so well written you absolutely can’t bare to put it down!

Fantastic!. Loved this book! Downloaded and finished in 3 hours... couldn't put it down.

Mason. I want her to get back with Mason =(. Please make it happen. Or at least make him come to town to see his mother and he bumps into Rose. I miss them as a couple

This is the best of the Rose Gardner stories. To truly enjoy Rose and her friends you need to start at the beginning with the Rose Gardner Mysteries. I totally am hooked on that series and the following series Rose Gardner Investigations. Denise takes you on a ride with this book…and loving every minute of it. The characters are so well drawn, the story plot will cause you to laugh and to cry and to love every minute of it. When we finish you will be so sorry to put it down!

For the birds. Rose has done it again. I love her in this book so strong and amazing

Loved it. I neeeeeddddd the next book already omg! I love Rose, she's my hero

Love this series. I loved the original Rose Gardner Mystery series and I'm glad to see Rose and Neely Kate's adventures continue. Thank you Denise for keeping them going and keeping us so entertained and intrigued.

Blown away...again!!. I can't believe how much I believe these book characters are living, breathing people. But somehow, I do. Maybe it is wishful thinking! Once again, a fantastic story from Denise. You won't regret buying this book/series?

Never Disappoints!!!. I have been counting down the days for this book to be released, and the wait was so worth it! I literally did not put it down and read right through it! The hard part now is waiting for the next one. I enjoyed when Rose was with Joe, and when she was with Mason, and I'm loving the idea of her with James! I thought it would never actually happen, but are so glad it did! Just like Jed and Neely Kate compliment each other, I feel the same for Rose and James!! I'm so hoping their story together continues!! The chemistry between the two is undeniable and I could feel every thought and emotion between them!! Love it!

WOW!!!. Fantastic book!!! I love Rose and Skeeter together!!!!! About time. Another great addition to this must read series.

FOR The birds. Wow, Denise has given us, yet again, an amazing read. She has given us great lovable characters, that make us laugh and cry. I have love seeing how she has made the characters grow.

Rose & Joe. I loved the book, however, VERY disappointed that Rose and Joe aren't getting back together!! Not happy that Rose and Skeeter are an item!!!! After talking to other readers, they are not happy as well. We want Rose and Joe back together!!!!

Yay for James. I'm so glad they got together. We can have a king and queen of the county

Great stories. I have read the entire series of 281/2 wishes and can’t wait for the next one to come out. These stories keep you in suspense and cliff hangers at the end and again I can’t wait to see what the next one holds. Will Rose and James end up together or at the end of the two weeks will she tell him no because her niece and nephew need her since Violet is dying and Mike has already told her he didn’t like her choices in friends and didn’t want her circle of friends to be around his children????? Great writing, great stories and entertaining plots. Please let Rose make a decision that will make her happy as she has been alone and hurt enough.

Can't get enough. Like the others, release day can't come soon enough and I am always eagerly waiting their arrival. As usual, I couldn't put the book down! I love watching Rose gain confidence and become an independent woman. It has been fun to watch her grow. This series is my favorite by Denise, and I can't wait for the next, however it seems like it's going to be while...

Hell In A Handbasket. I couldn't put this book down. I love Rose and Neely Kate! They just kept getting into things one right after the other! I was a little surprised over the ending but oh it's going to get juicier in Up Chute Creek. Can't wait to read it! I don't want the Rose Gardner Investigations to end. They are so exciting and can't wait to see what happens next!!! Best series of books I have ever read!

One of the best of the series yet!. I can't believe I have to wait over 6 months for the next one to come out!

Another DGS masterpiece!. Loved this book even more than the last somehow. Rose and NK are investigating a missing a parrot that somehow ties into Skeeters missing brother! As always Rose gets sucked deeper into the crime world and things heat up between her and Skeeter! If you haven't bought For the birds already, do it now! It won't disappoint!

Best series ever!!!. I want to see her and Joe back together!! That had so much chemistry....can't wait to continue reading the series ❤️

My favorite author.... ...she did it again! She wrote an immaculately written book that has everything you could ever want: humor, romance and mystery. I have loved every single one of her Rose Gardner books (including the NK book as well) and it never ceases to amaze me how they keep getting better and better. I laugh, I cry and no author has ever or will ever make you love/hate the characters so much that you feel you know them in real life. My husband and I even joke that I'm always in a particularly good mood when I'm in the middle of reading one of these books. TRUST ME.. you will NOT be disappointed. It is totally worth the money and time to read all the books from the beginning (16 books, I believe). I have yet to find another series I love so much so I have decided to go ahead and reread them all again. Something else I have never done with a series. So go ahead and indulge. Fall in love with these books as I've done. No reason for me to keep all this sweet book bliss to myself. ***My ONLY complaint now is having to wait until February when the next book comes out. I'm on the literal verge of losing my mind just thinking about having to wait that long. I would definitely not mind at all being sent chapter by chapter to help keep my sanity in line (*wink wink*). So thank you Denise for these wonderful books and keep em' coming baby! =)

kryptonite. My weakness , once I start I can put them down!

For the Birds. Denise Grover Swank hit For the Birds out of the park! I could not put my Kindle down. In fact, the ONLY reason I stopped reading was because I was running through airports. When one reads a Rose Gardner book, you go in expecting her to end up in some sort of chaos. This installment is no exception. It's a fast-paced read, complete with a talkative bird, Mrs Mildred being her "charming" self, and bad guys out for blood. Altogether this is otherwise known as a regular day in the fictitious world of Henryetta and Fenton! What IS exceptional is how Rose handles herself. She has grown more than I would have imagined early on in the "mystery" series of books. I know I've said this a lot before, and it still rings true now: watching her journey is so much fun! Of course she ends up in the craziest of situations; it wouldn't be a Rose Gardner book otherwise! I enjoyed the evolution of her relationship with a certain King of the Fenton County criminal underworld. With that being said... IF their relationship evolves further, I don't really see it lasting. Or maybe they're enough to balance each other out? I don't know. Levi has been a little too flat and eager for me to truly like him... so much that I wonder if he has ulterior motives?! I've got trust issues... It goes without saying that Neely Kate is the best friend that Rose could have ever hoped for. Their relationship as BFFs grows more with each book (read Trailer Trash if you haven't already!) I also loved seeing even more of Jed. With each book he becomes more than just the bodyguard. He and Neely Kate are magnificent together. Jed and Skeeter definitely have some of their own relationship issues to deal with after this book. Joe has been relegated to background character status, but that's okay because he's always there... the growth of his character is truly evident even with his lesser "book" presence. A pleasant surprise was getting to see Violet again too! She and Rose certainly have a long way to go, but I'm sure they'll work out their differences. I cannot recommend For the Birds enough! This entire book is mostly about relationships, knowing who to trust, and figuring out how to trust yourself. It's fun and packs a few punches when you least expect it. *****FIVE STARS*****

Seriously an amazing series. I adore this series

For the Birds. I love the Rose Gardner books this one was especially good cant wait for the next one.

Rebekah. I've been reading the series from when the first book came out (28 and a half wishes) and haven't been able to put any of them down! "For the birds" was the same, I finished reading it the very first day it was released - Cannot wait for the next book !!! So addictive

Can't Wait for the Next One!. I loved it! It was very interesting, kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm so mad that I couldn't stop myself from finishing it so fast, but it was too good. I can't wait for the next book, I just hope it doesn't take a very long time.
