As good as all Rose Gardner books, but I would have liked a chapter through Skeeter's point of view.
If you have been a fan of the Rose Gardner Mysteries by Denise Grover Swank, you will know that the series wrapped up with Thirty-Six and a Half Motives. And of course, the new series with Rose and Neely Kate - Rose Gardner Investigations starting with Family Jewels will be released soon. So what better way to round out the previous series and link it to the new one, is this great novella.
You will get some of those niggly questions answered but we also get a taste of what is to come next. I love the various POV's as it helps to know what each character has going on in their own head, and not just Rose's. Joe and Neely Kate have plenty to say, as well as James and Jed. Maeve is still helping out where she can, with the nursery and Joe. She mentions Mason, so I am hoping he and Rose reconcile at some point.
I am so glad that Rose will be back with some of the previous characters as I just couldn't say good bye to them yet. I am looking forward to this new chapter for Rose and the gang.

This is a great intermin between the old Rose Gardner Mysteries and the new Rose Gardner Investigations. This gives you the background on what happened after the huge ordeal from Thirty Six and a Half Motives. If you have read the entire Rose Gardner Murdery Mysteries, then you need to read this. This also gives you a good look into what could happen in the new series.
Denise has kept with the feel of the Rose books. This is no different at all . She grips you right when you first started reading!! This book does not disappoint.

This novella is a tie-in between the Rose Gardner "and a half" series and the new Rose Gardner Investigator series. A lot of previous book reminders and recaps, but I'm just so happy to have the gang all back together that I loved it.
Good series epilogue
This novella is a series epilogue. It gives us a glimpse of the aftermath of JR’s death, all the things that happened in the county to Rose and the secondary characters in the last year. We get some chapters from Joe and Neely Kate’s POV rather than just from Rose’s POV with snippets of how everyone is adjusting. Despite being short, the novella was well written, the characters had dimension and the storyline was engaging. This novella is not a standalone, it needs to be read after the other books in the series in order to understand the characters and plot lines and to not spoil any surprises. I am looking forward to reading Rose’s new series to see what happens next for her and for all the others.

Soooo cruel, releasing this in such small parts every month! I am glad this last one came early, thank you thank you thank you!
I love getting insight into all the characters minds in the novellas and Sins of the Father didn't disappoint! It was short and sweet and left me missing my favorite Fenton County people!
Now I sit and anxiously await the release of Family Jewels.....

This novella is told through various character POV's. Sins of the Father looks in on the characters as they each deal with the after-math of taking down the notorious JR Simmons. Joe is taking it the hardest, hiding from everyone and punishing himself for the actions of his father. He receives support from an unlikely source. Neely Kate is struggling with her new found knowledge but she and Rose work together to search for a missing pet. Denise keeps her readers guessing as she adds a new vet to the cast of characters.

Denise Grover Swank is a favorite author. I love her novels.
But I'll only read her novellas if I'm desperate.
Her full length novels are brilliant.
Her novellas and short stories miss the mark more often than the hit it.
