Denise Swank
In the ever-evolving landscape of mystery and romance fiction, Denise Grover Swank has carved out a niche all her own—where laughter and suspense walk hand-in-hand, and heroines face chaos with grit, grace, and often, a coffee in hand. With over three million books sold and a loyal following built on emotional authenticity and wry humor, she’s become a standout voice in contemporary fiction.
Swank’s breakout came with Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes, the first book in the Rose Gardner Mysteries, a series that’s as much about solving crimes as it is about discovering who you are when the world insists on underestimating you. Set in a small Southern town rich with secrets and eccentric characters, the series resonated for its heart as much as its whodunits. Rose, an unlikely clairvoyant caught between her past and a thousand unexpected futures, reflects the very heart of Swank’s storytelling: flawed, funny, and deeply human.
Harper Adams Mystery
