The Woman Who Wore Roses

by Chris Culver

Overview

Detective Mary Joe Court returns in the fifth thrilling mystery in New York Times' bestselling author Chris Culver's Joe Court series.

Someone shot the victim in her chest five times at point-blank range and left her to die in a cheap motel. Her purse has no ID, cell phone, or car keys, and her room is registered to Benjamin Franklin. She's no drifter, though. She has two thousand dollars cash in her wallet, a ten-thousand dollar watch in her purse, and a six-thousand dollar dress on a hanger on the bathroom door.

Detective Mary Joe Court catches the case and identifies the woman as the estranged spouse of a wealthy investment advisor from St. Louis. The victim had been trying to create a new life for herself with someone she loved. Now, that will never happen.

But some seemingly innocent victims are anything but innocent. Sometimes, they're downright dangerous.
The woman with the beautiful, rose-patterned dress carried her secrets to her grave. To find her killer, Joe has to unearth them...or risk being buried alongside her.

The Woman who wore Roses is the fifth mystery in New York Times' bestselling author Chris Culver's gripping Joe Court series. If you like James Patterson, David Baldacci, or Karin Slaughter, you'll love this series.

About the Author

Chris Culver is the New York Times bestselling author of the Ash Rashid series of mysteries. After graduate school, Chris taught courses in ethics and comparative religion at a small liberal arts university in southern Arkansas. While there and when he really should have been grading exams, he wrote The Abbey, which spent sixteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller's list and introduced the world to Detective Ash Rashid.

Chris has been a storyteller since he was a kid, but he decided to write crime fiction after picking up a dog-eared, coffee-stained paperback copy of Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury in a library book sale. Many years later, his wife, despite considerable effort, still can't stop him from bringing more orphan books home. The two of them, along with a labrador retriever named Roy, reside near St. Louis where Chris is hard at work on his next novel.
