After a year of adventures, Sam and Jordan are ready to settle down in the small town of Heywood, Arizona. The fixer-upper they’ve purchased seems like the perfect project...until Jordan’s renovations lead to more than just a leaky roof and they need to hire some help.
When one of their contractors is found murdered in their garage, Sam realizes this "small project" is about to become a much bigger problem than she ever could’ve imagined.
With the killer possibly lurking close to home—and using cutting-edge technology for sinister reasons—Sam teams up with her quirky friends to uncover the truth. But the clock is ticking, and the culprit isn’t keen on leaving loose ends. Can Sam untangle the mystery before her new home becomes a deadly trap?

“Rosemary and Rages” by Carly Winter is the seventh installment in the murder mystery series “Heywood Herbalist Cozy Mysteries”, published by Westward Publishing / Carly Fall, LLC.
In the midst of a chaotic renovation, former Hollywood star Sam and her husband, retired police officer Jordan, are trying to transform their new home into a dream oasis. After Jordan’s enthusiastic, yet disastrous attempts to tackle the renovations on his own, they wisely hire a local construction crew, much to Sam’s relief.
One fateful day, while Sam is enjoying a leisurely lunch with friends, she calls Jordan from the local church, asking him to pick her up. He leaves Ian, one of the construction workers, at the house. When Sam arrives home alone, she stumbles upon a chilling scene: a vehicle in the garage, engine running, with the door firmly shut. The acrid fumes overwhelm her, and in a panic, she opens the garage door, then she bursts back into the laundry room, only to lose her lunch in a wave of nausea.
When Jordan returns, he finds Sam looking pale and shaken. As she struggles to explain what happened, he races to the garage, only to be confronted with an unimaginable horror—Ian, lifeless and nailed to the seat of the running truck. The shocking twist? Someone has cloned Sam’s phone! The call that sent Jordan to the church wasn’t from her at all; it was the killer luring him into a trap.
With the renovations on hold and anxiety creeping in, Sam can’t sit idly by—she decides to take matters into her own hands. The bubbling tension in the house is stifling, and she needs answers fast. Will Sam solve the murder mystery before Trevor, the town sheriff, uncovers the truth in 'Rosemary and Rage'?
Despite not having read the previous six books in the Heywood Herbalist Cozy Mysteries series, I found myself pulled into this riveting tale. I did wish for some background on Sam and Jordan, but the story stands strong as its own adventure. With its captivating plot and expertly crafted writing, I was thoroughly engrossed from start to finish!

"Rosemary and Rage (Heywood Herbalist #7)" by Carly Winter has Sam and Jordan return to Heywood after getting their wanderlust out of their system. They bought a fixer upper together because Jordan thought he could handle it and it would keep him busy. Well, as most in that situation know, home repair can be a big task. So now they're contracting out the repairs to get the house livable again. Too bad one of the crew is found dead in the garage.
Sam tries, slightly, to let the police handle things since the old police chief is in jail now (see Heywood Hounds Mystery Series). Especially since she's trying to get Abigail to open up about what is going on at Sage Advice, now that Sam no longer owns it. Eventually, Sam has to step in since she feels like something is off about who the police have arrested.
I appreciate that this series is back. It would be interesting to see this one and the Heywood Hounds series merge. The characters really do overlap so it wouldn't be too odd. The trick would be if to make it multiple points of view or just flip flop whose point of view it is per book.
A wonderful book by author Carly Winter.
Sam and Jordan are really good characters.
I really enjoyed reading this awesome book and highly recommend it.
