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.

It is an easy listening story, nothing to taxing but really loved the story and the old ladies are FAB. I will be getting others in series.

I loved this book. The only problem with it is people look at you as though you are nuts, audiobooks are a great invention but I feel like walking around with a sign saying 'listening to an audiobook'
Keep ip with the amazing books.

I love this series. Highly entertaining, with very likeable characters, plenty of suspense, fun and a bit of light romance. what more can one wish for?

I usually choose gritty crime thrillers but every now and then I’m tempted by a lighter read and this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s set in Louisiana, which swayed it for me as I welcome any opportunity to be transported back to a very enjoyable holiday in New Orleans!
Miss Fortune comes across as a fun gal and the senior ladies are a force to be reckoned with., there’s no cringey love interest but the potential is there for something to develop, although I already trust Jana DeLeon to handle this in an enjoyable way.
The narration is excellent and I very much look forward to the next in the series.

Refreshing and very enjoyable
