About this series
Things are finally looking up for Rosie: she’s debt-free, or at least almost, her trailer is in great condition, and she even has time to take her three kids on a Christmas vacation. But she knows the smooth sailing can’t last. Rosie is always there for a friend in need, and before she knows it, she has her hands full. Again. To cover for her best friend, Véro, she fills in as housekeeper for a renowned psychoanalyst. On top of that, pal Mimi calls to say she’s landed in the hospital, so Rosie agrees to take care of her rebellious teenage son, Léo. When Rosie sees a teenage girl who seems to be in trouble, she enlists Léo’s help to investigate.
Funny and suspenseful, Rosie Maldonne’s third investigation returns to the criminal underworld of southern France.
Titles in the series (3)
- Queen of the Trailer Park
1
Rosie Maldonne is outspoken and sexy. She’s also unemployed, and, with three children and a cat, life is a little tough. The four of them—well, five, if you count the cat—live in the South of France, in a run-down trailer near a vacant lot. They make do, living off her part-time waitressing job and a little help from the state. Rosie thinks things are finally turning around when she meets handsome police officer Jérôme—until she realizes that his appearance coincides with her friend Véro’s disappearance. Then, something even stranger happens: Rosie finds a package with a crazy amount of money in the trash can of a fast-food joint. With so much going on, Rosie has some big questions: Where is Véro? Is Jérôme too good to be true? Who put all that cash in the trash? And what happens when they want it back?
- Queen of the Hide Out
2
Rosie Maldonne thought she hit it big when she stumbled upon an envelope of cash in Queen of the Trailer Park. But with a nasty flu keeping her laid out, school fees due, and Christmas on the way, she finds herself back in the red. Time to find a real job. After weeks of searching, Rosie is losing hope when the man of her dreams happens to post a new position: cleaning for an elderly person. Perfect! She lands the job, but the new role brings more than the promise of romance. When orphaned twins appear on her doorstep—desperate and on the run—Rosie agrees to hide them. Harboring illegal immigrants and a diamond necklace stolen from the Mafia a year ago is stressful work. Paranoid and seeing suspicious people everywhere, Rosie contemplates fleeing to Amsterdam or seeking help from her new prince charming. In this hilarious and suspenseful second investigation, Rosie has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and keep her ever-expanding family from harm.
