As they start looking into the woman and the family in Sinful she came to visit, their investigation sends them to New Orleans, right at the height of the Mardi Gras celebration. But instead of relaxing a little and enjoying the festivities, Fortune can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched.

Story
Venus Thibodeaux had a reputation for being trouble. Some said she started at birth. When she finally left Sinful shortly after turning 18, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When she blew back into town four years later, no one was happy about her return. She immediately launched into her same old scams, picking off Sinful residents with ease before disappearing again as quickly as she’d appeared.

It’s November in Sinful, and everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving. But when Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie bag a body on their turkey-hunting trip, the quiet enjoyment of fall is over. No one really knew Miles Broussard well, and as he’d recently sold the building his business was in to retire in another state, no one could explain how he’d ended up murdered and dumped in the bayou.

Story
It’s official. Fortune Redding is out of the CIA and a newly minted resident of Sinful, Louisiana. She never expected her homecoming to be all apple pie and hugs, but a murder wasn’t on her list of things to deal with before she’d even gotten her name stenciled on her mailbox. Boone Carre-Hooch, to the locals - was a drunk and a louse and had shafted pretty much everyone he’d ever done business with. So when someone kills him, there is no shortage of suspects. Unfortunately, Ally is at the top of the list.

Sure, there's been a murder or two that she's gotten mixed up in since she arrived in town, but she's hoping all of that is behind her.

Publisher's Summary
Til death do us part?
Ida Belle, Fortune, and Gertie are gearing up for the big day - Ida Belle’s wedding to Walter - but when the caterer goes missing just a week before the big day, it puts a huge black mark on the joyous celebration. Molly Broussard is no stranger to being in the limelight, so when the former cage fighter turned in her boxing gloves for pots and pans, everyone who knew her was surprised...until they ate her food.
From all appearances, Molly took her boat out that day and simply never returned. An extensive search of the bayous finally produces the boat, but there is no sign of Molly. With no evidence of foul play, Sinful residents are ready to conclude that this is simply another tragic and all-too-common accident.
Nickel Bordelon spent half of his time in trouble and the other half paying for it. But one thing he knows for certain - Molly was murdered. When he asks Fortune to take the case, she isn’t sure there’s anything to find, but his emotional plea has her agreeing to look into it. As Swamp Team 3 begin their investigation, they find more layers to Molly’s disappearance than in Ida Belle’s wedding cake.

If you want to read a light, fun book, the Miss Fortune books are what you’re looking for. I’d suggest starting at the beginning of the series because it builds the characters that appear in each book. I was laughing out loud in places in this one ... and in all of them now that I think about it. They’re just fun!

a fun listen as always
even though I figured out the plot twist pretty early into the story, I was entertained throughout the book. there are some parts you just have to laugh out loud. I was listening to this while I was having lunch at a cafe and it was really hard to keep myself from laughing. I am sure the wait staff was creeped out by my smile..... you can read this on his own but why limit yourself to just one. I highly recommend the whole series.

I LOVE THIS SERIES
Jana DeLeon please don’t ever stop writing this series and Cassandra Campbell please don’t ever stop narrating the series.
This is my favorite series out of all the audio books I own. And Im coming up on about two thousand audio books now.
This series is laugh out loud funny yet will at times pull at your heart strings. If you are trying to decide definitely start at Book 1 and keep on until a new one comes out. You can’t go wrong.

Always a good story with some laughter mixed in. The characters are interesting and the narrator brings them to life. I really enjoy these books. And I like the fact that I don’t have to deal with gory scenes or sex scenes or foul language. It’s refreshing.
