Run, Rose, Run

By Dolly Parton and James Patterson

THE #1 BESTSELLING THRILLER FROM AMERICA'S MOST BELOVED SUPERSTAR AND THE WORLD'S BESTSELLING AUTHOR. COMING AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM REESE WITHERSPOON'S HELLO SUNSHINE. A new singer arrives in Nashville. She calls herself AnnieLee Keyes, and she has more beauty, talent, and ambition than most -- and a dangerous past that she's running from. Her performance of original songs at open-mic night at the Cat's Paw Saloon downtown transfixes Ethan Blake, back-up musician for country star Ruthanna Ryder. Ruthanna may have retired--for deeply personal reasons--but that doesn't mean she's stopped writing music. Every day, she records songs she'll never release. When Ruthanna hears AnnieLee sing, the legend decides to help the ingenue. But a boost from a mega-star like Ruthanna may spotlight the talented newcomer's secret. Now AnnieLee may not live long enough to realize her dreams of stardom--or for the world to learn her true identity.

Mildly entertaining. I hated the audio version with the exception of Dolly Parton, not because she’s an exceptional reader but because I adore Dolly in general. Maybe it’s better if you read it instead of listening? If you’re really bored & need a book you don’t have to close attention to, go ahead & give it a listen otherwise don’t waste your time.

A fun book for a book club discussion. The audiobook has Dolly's voice.

3 and a half stars, rounded up.

Though this was a quick read, this book took me most of the month to read due to life getting in the way. I loved listening to the audiobook with a full cast.

A fast-paced mystery thriller centered on the tension between chasing fame and escaping a haunted past. Ideal for readers who enjoy medium-paced narratives with high-stakes suspense, musical aesthetics, and a moody blend of glamour and danger.

Nice story. Full of intrigue. Plus, who doesn’t love Dolly? Such a formidable human being and loving spirit.
