When readers first meet Abbey Rose in Pick Your Poison, the first novel in the Yellow Rose Mystery series, she is out of school and out of work and, as a result, she has little to no motivation for life.

Fortunately, Abby is far from broke. Abby lives with her twin sister Kate in their wealthy home in Texas. Abby and Kate were adopted by Charlie Rose. When he died, Abby and her sister inherited his considerable wealth.

By the time Pick your Poison starts, Abby is struggling to balance her emotions over the death of her adopted father with the upheaval her life has suffered in recent times. She might have all the money she could ever want but Abby is without purpose and that is making her rather miserable.

Her life takes an interesting turn when Abby’s gardener asks to talk to her and her sister. Ben seems to know something about the sisters’ biological parents. But before he can reveal the truth to his charges, someone kills him.

This puts Abby on the warpath. She makes it her mission to not only identify Ben’s killer but to discover the secret surrounding their biological family. She is joined in her efforts by a police detective who shows a more than casual interest in Abby.

While the Yellow Rose Mystery series sometimes concerns itself with exploring Abby’s past and her relationship with her family, both biological and adopted, the sequels to Pick Your Poison focus primarily on the heroine’s ascension to the position of Private Detective.

Abby realizes that she has a knack for the field after she successfully maneuvers the situation surrounding her biological family and the death of her gardener. But because she has an inheritance that will keep her fed and sheltered for the rest of her life, Abby chooses to pursue private investigative work not because she needs the money but, rather, she wants to help people like her; men and women, boys and girls who want answers about their origins.

Each new installment in the series gives Abby a new client, an individual that has been separated from a family member in some way and who Abby believes she can help.

Most of Abby’s cases tend to start out as simple mysteries that require her to deliver answers and reunite families; but an unexpected occurrence always throws a nefarious crime into the mix, typically a murder.

Leann Sweeney was inspired to write the Yellow Rose Mystery series after she read a magazine article that detailed the workings of a doctor who trafficked in illegal adoptions.
