It was a day like any other day for Marina Trahan...until she caught her husband in bed with another woman. Before that eye-opening wake-up call, Marina would have described her life as average or uneventful, maybe even boring. But now, chaos and confusion reign supreme. She’d expected to slide through midlife with her unwanted extra pounds, chin hair, and hot flashes and move somewhat gracefully into elastic-waist pants and having no verbal filter.

The next, I’m divorced and living in the guest room of my ex’s hotter-than-sin cousin’s place in Savannah and talking to an animated skeleton named Robert. I have to admit, Robert isn’t my worst date. At 41, I didn’t think I’d be starting over. But I’ll be damned if my ex thinks I’m down and out because he pulled a fast one on me.

Summary
The first three mysteries in the USA Today best-selling Franki Amato series: Limoncello Yellow, Prosecco Pink, and Amaretto Amber
When Franki Amato leaves her cheating ex and erratic job as a rookie cop in Austin, Texas, she hopes for a quieter existence at her best friend Veronica’s New Orleans PI firm, Private Chicks. But life in The Big Easy is anything but quiet. Or easy.
Her furnished apartment resembles an old French brothel, and her aging ex-stripper landlady has some rather odd policies. Meanwhile, Franki is hired to investigate a series of bizarre murders in a luxury boutique, a haunted plantation, and a Bourbon Street strip club, and her work puts her in contact with colorful local characters, like voodoo mambos, drag queens, and wealthy socialites, not to mention killers. While she’s on the case, her meddlesome Sicilian nonna tries to crack an ongoing mystery - how to get her married, and pronto - and she might just be Franki’s biggest nemesis.

Meh.. replace Frank Amato...
... and the stories would be fine. An acloholic main protagonist who won't stand up to her family doesn't have much appeal, so the books are a bit off-putting once the ongoing threads become apparent. They're full of annoyingly repetitive situations: - Franki is embarassed by her stripper-landlady's skimpy outfits - Franki wakes up hungover - Franki refuses to be open about anything with her boyfriend - Franki wakes up hungover - Franki's so-called "best-friend" constantly criticises her and tricks her into situations she'd rather not be in, but Franki doesn't call her on it - Franki wakes up hungover - Franki is upset and embarrased by her parents' and grandmother's interfering and critical behaviour toward her, but won't risk upsetting them by calling them out on it either. - Franki wakes up hungover and takes a while to remember how she got there - Franki wakes up hungover It's no wonder she's an alcoholic given the crap she refuses to deal with. In fact, it's a wonder Franki has time to investigate any cases, since she spends so much time boringly lurching from one obviously avoidable personal disaster to another.

Epic read!
This book had me laughing so much! I would highly recommend it. And it helps that the mystery was good, it took me a while to figure out 'who done it'. This is more for adults. There is some mild violence, no profanity and no sexual content except for some nude body's (she has to investigate a death in a strip club and her land lady is an ex striper) and a lot of innuendos through out the book. I have never laughed so much in my life, I would not recommend listening to it while you are in a public place otherwise the people around you would think there is something seriously wrong with you if you suddenly laugh out loud, which I did a couple of times. The narrator suited this book really well, I thought she did a fantastic job in voicing the characters and making them feel real. I would listen to other books that she has narrated.

Such a Wonderful Series
I am hooked on the Frankie Amato Mysteries, the stories are so well written, entertaining and the mysteries keep you guessing till the very end. Each book just got better and better and kept me wanting more. Once I started listening I didn't want to stop. The narrator did a fantastic job of portraying each character and in making the story come to life. I really enjoyed listening to each book. I am definitely a fan and will be reading all the books in this series.

First off the book is so good, secondly the narrator is perfect. The story is oh so awesome. Just perfect. Humor and brains, nothing that irritates. Perfection. Smorgasbord of characters ... and I know I should think before posting a review. But I am just so happy to find a story that is this good. This is a story I know I will listen to over and over again in coming years. Am already looking forward to it!

Sit back with a drink and enjoy
I really loved this book and can't get enough of the series so a three book box set is perfect for me. The cast and setting was just so colourful and I had no problem imagining the scenes unfold as I was swept on the roller coaster ride that is Franki's life. Often had me laughing out loud and defiantly a book to add to any cozy mystery collection. Each book is great and you can buy them individually but why would you because once you have heard book one you will have to get the others in the series. The characters are so varied from little old grandmas to strippers to drag queens to priest but everyone is so much fun that you can't help but like them. It kind of makes me think of a a New Orleans version of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series but as I enjoyed this more I think Traci might be stealing some of Janet's fans. Book 1 Limoncello yellow You would think being a policewoman was hard work but that is a piece of cake compared to being a Pi, dealing with family, cheating boy friends, voodoo priestess, ex strippers for landlords and sea food. When a high end boutique owner is killed Franki starts to investigate but with plenty of suspects she might have her work cut out for her but then again growing up in an Italian family she is tougher than she looks. Book 2 Prosecco pink A CEO of a cosmetic company is found dead laying out on a bed where a previous death had occurred and Franki is hired to find out if it was suicide or murder. The historic plantation mansion has a checked past but could that have played a part in the death, especially as a pink diamond was supposed to have been hidden on the property. Then one of the maids is killed and Franki finds herself turning to a psychic for help and Franki's boyfriend Bradley turning to his secretary for support. Can Franki solve the case before there is another death or before she loses her boyfriend for good? Only if she can stay one step ahead of a crocodile, a ghost and a killer. Book 3 Amaretto Amber Turning 30 is bad enough but when you are the only daughter in an Italian family then you had better watch out, especially if you don't have a ring on your finger. Franki wishes that hiding out from her Grandmother and her friends in her apartment was the least of her worries but at the same time as dodging flying lemons she also has to go under cover and investigate a murder in a strip club. One of the girls has been murdered and Franki must tackle hexes, witches, snakes and policemen and a stolen necklace all while keeping her clothes on because someone is reporting her every move to the clients of her boyfriend and solving this case might just cost him his job. I really like the narrator for this series and think she is part of the reason the characters are so colourful. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Enjoyable
The narrator was easy to follow. She did an excellent job with the distinction between the different voices. There was one that was a little less clear, but I think with so many characters it’s quite the feat to reach that level of distinction. The voice was a little sharp, but nothing too annoying. Overall: a good job! The story starts out a little on the over-the-top side, but fun! Well, not much fun for Franki. This is not a quick listen, it’s 27 hours for three books, 9 hours per book. Well-developed. Humorous style! But, I thought it was a little too drawn out in places, too slow. Especially in the beginning. The mystery didn’t start until almost an hour in. I liked the cozy-feeling build up, but it can’t be TOO long. The mystery has to take precedence. Even when the mystery had started, there were a lot of things happening not related to the mystery and while I liked it, I had expected more emphasis on the mystery. Good character development though. Don’t let the cover fool you and mistake this for a cozy though, it’s a PI mystery and a little more tough-talking than a cozy. I think Franki was a little too quick to judge, and could have been more likeable. But it was easy-to-listen-to, and the mystery was clever. I enjoyed it. I only listened to the first book so far, I’ll edit my review when I’ve listened to the rest.

One credit!!! 3 novels!
I’m an incessant audiobook listener. I love box sets, you can follow the characters, author and narrator through trials and tribulations. This is a great deal. Three books starting this series, for ONE CREDIT. A fun and believable heroine, with interesting adjunct characters. The narrator does a great job bringing the cast to life. The mom’s “”whiny” voice or landlady’s “sultry”” voice are wonderfully brought to life. Download Franki Amato and transport yourself to NOLA. Enjoy.

Three times the fun!
I really enjoyed this set of Franki Amato mysteries. The characters are a lot of fun and so is the New Orleans setting. The narration is great and Franki is super relatable. She's sassy, smart, and funny. Sadly, she sings like a dying dog, but we all have our flaws.

Extremely enjoyable
I found this audiobook to be an extremely enjoyable listen. It has a great combination of murder, mystery and suspense. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing each character to life.

Fun sassy mysteries
Frankie Amato Mysteries is a fun fast paced sassy read. I love how the author crosses the barrier and talks to the audience. I love the sarcastic wit of Glenda. The books are descriptive and entertaining a definite must read. The narrator Madeline Mrozek is perfect for this book she makes it fun to listen to. I received this review copy at my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review because I really enjoyed reading this book.

cute, but frustrating
If you can get past the lead character making a series of terrible relationship and otherwise decisions book after book, then the rest is pretty good. I guess I just like my lead characters to be stronger than this one. She seems more like a bumbling oaf sidekick than a lead. This is only my second cozy mystery series and I have to say, the Zion Sawyer series is far superior. It's still entertaining and fun, though I did spend a lot of time thinking of numerous ways this character could have handled things so much better, and stood up for herself at least occasionally... headache.
