The dead always get the last word. Rowan Calloway is the only one who can hear it. Rowan built a quiet life as a landscape botanist, far from Harrow Bend and the strange gift that runs through the Calloway women: one touch, and she hears the final words a person ever spoke. She has spent fourteen years not touching anyone if she can help it. Then her grandmother Edna dies, leaving Rowan the family herb shop, a cottage by the river, a watchful calico named Clementine, and a town full of people who remember her. Rowan means to settle the estate and leave. But when a death in Harrow Bend turns out to be murder, the last words she hears do not match the story everyone believes. Someone in this friendly little town is lying. The trail winds through old ledgers and older grudges, and the deeper Rowan digs, the clearer it becomes that her grandmother knew far more than she ever let on. With a skeptical, steady-eyed deputy who keeps showing up at her counter, a cat who notices things before Rowan does, and a gift she can no longer keep hidden, Rowan must untangle decades of small-town secrets before the killer decides her silence is worth arranging too. Rosemary for the Dead is Book 1 in the Last Words Mysteries: a cozy paranormal series with a small Pacific Northwest town, a slow-burn touch of romance, no gore, no cliffhanger, and a mystery that plays fair. Perfect for readers who love psychic sleuths, herb shops, uncanny cats, and towns that cannot keep a secret.

I really enjoyed the eerie, magical atmosphere built into this small-town setting. The main character was sharp and engaging, and her feline sidekick made a great addition. It balanced the supernatural elements with clean mystery tropes really seamlessly. A fast-paced, spooky read that is perfect for a dark evening!.
