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.

I was recommended this book by a family member. I don't think I have ever laughed out loud so very much from reading a book in my life! I'm taking the dog for a walk, listening to this story and suddenly start laughing, sometimes can't stop. People have a tendency to stare. But it's totally worth it!! I would highly recommend this entire series to read or listen to. Light and funny!

Hilarious Start to a Series!!

I have read this series twice, and was so excited to find the audiobooks! The narrator definitely didn't disappoint. It really felt like I was sitting around the table with Fortune, Gertie, and Ida Bell. I can't wait to listen to the rest!

Love Sinful!

I took a gamble on this one, unsure of what I’d get exactly. And it turned out to be right up my alley. I loved the humour, I love Fortune who just keeps having to ask “How did I end up in this scenario?” And I LOVE the Sinful Ladies. I fully encourage anyone that enjoys a light hearted mystery to give this a try, as the different layers keep you hooked in. Definitely going onto the next book

Never saw the old ladies coming

Not going to win a Pulitzer any time soon, but a lovely entertaining book. Loved it.

Light, easy, fun read

Oh man, talk about an unexpected treat! They mystery element was okay, pretty standard fare and nothing too complex, but the characters were a blast and I had a ton of fun with their interactions and development with the main character. Plus the narrator did a great job with all of them, which of course is always half the battle to make any audio book worth listening to. Absolutely going to be getting the next in the series!

Really just a ton of fun :)
