About this listen

It was a hell of a long shot....

CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever - in Sinful, Louisiana. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world's largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element. Posing as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town seems worse than death to Fortune, but she's determined to fly below the radar until her boss finds the leak and puts the arms dealer out of play.

Unfortunately, she hasn't even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard. Thrust into the middle of a bayou murder mystery, Fortune teams up with a couple of seemingly sweet old ladies whose looks completely belie their hold on the little town. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions. If she's not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. Armed with her considerable skills and a group of elderly ladies the locals dub the Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it's too late.

This book made me laugh out loud. I loved the characters and the slapstick nature of the action. The reader was just right. Pure fun. Not for those who want reality but great for those of us who like comfortable mysteries and heroines

Well worth a listen

Super trained CIA agent ends up in rural Louisiana. This was a fun book to read although the main character is pretty spineless. The plot was quite straightforward and the murder wasn't that crucial to the story with it being more character driven.

The setting was fine and the descriptions were good although some of the language used was atypical and I'm surprised this was written by a woman.

The narrator was OK but alternated between calling one character "Le Blanque" and "Le Blank" over and over. Really started to wind me up.

So yeah, nice book but nothing special.

Harmless fluff

A new author for me but a nice surprise, a gentle introduction to a series of stories set in a small town in Louisiana. Good characters and a credible plot!

Surprisingly refreshing

I first read this on the kindle and JUST had to own the audio book too. I have listened to the story serval times now and have even gone on to purchase other audio books in the series.

This is a brilliant start to the series of Miss Fortune books. They are stand alone stories and the murder/crime is solved at the end of each book, however there are a lot of returning characters and I personal think it is best to read them in order so START WITH THIS ONE, you wont be disappointed if you like funny crime cappers.

Fortune is in hiding from a bad guy and the only why to stay alive is to go under cover in a town called Sinful, as an ex beauty queen turned librarian, the only problem is the name Fortune stands for 'soldier of fortune' and she has no idea how to be a girly girl. After breaking the law and getting caught by the deputy before she has even crossed over the town lines, Fortune thinks this could be her toughest mission ever and that is before she finds the dead body in her back yard.

Definitely not a one shot wonder of a book!!!
