Upcoming: Did I drop every single thing I was doing when a galley for Dolly Parton’s 2022 crime book landed on my doorstep? Like you don’t know the answer–because who wouldn’t?! Dolly Parton is a national treasure and she wrote a crime book. I know! And wait, there’s more exciting news: the book will release with a same titled album of new songs that Parton wrote for the book. I know! And the songbook is at the end of the book! It’s all super exciting. And let me tell you Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton and James Patterson is super entertaining! You’ll sit down thinking you’re going to squeeze in one quick chapter and in a blink you’ll be 100 pages in and wondering where the time went.
If you’re thinking that it will probably be a book written by someone else with Dolly Parton’s name on it, that is not the case. Dolly Parton’s personality, compassion, and especially humor shines through this book, as does her love of country music and her knowledge of the industry. It makes sense that someone as gifted as Dolly Parton in storytelling through song could partner with James Patterson to write a page-turner with ladies you’re going to fiercely love, and want to brunch with STAT.
Readers follow AnnieLee Keyes, a young woman who has just hitchhiked her way to Nashville hoping to finally catch a break and become a country singer. She’s feisty, funny, determined, and filled with talent. But the world seems more ready to chew her up and spit her out. It also does not help that danger keeps finding her… Readers can look forward to a novel that takes you into the country music industry, gives you romance, danger, action (the blockbuster movie kind where somehow no one ends up in the hospital), and friendships—including one that shows feminism is pulling those up behind you not lifting the ladder up behind you.
Come for the novelty that Dolly Parton wrote a crime novel and stay for the spitfire joy that is AnnieLee Keyes in this wildly entertaining book.
