I love to read and I especially love cozy mysteries, especially those that make me laugh too. The Miss Fortune Mysteries are a favourite and surprise, surprise they are staying fresh from the first to the the 28th in the series. A lot of series kinda gets stale once they cross the 21st line but these the plots do change and are a great read. Easy and fun. Here is the plot of the first book
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.
And the 28th...
Dying to fit in.
High school wasn’t a grand time for everyone, but when a group of friends decide to meet up at a B and B ahead of their ten-year reunion, old grudges resurface, and one of them ends up dead. Now the owners, a kindly older couple, are on the hook for the accidental death due to anaphylaxis, but they insist no mistakes were made on their part.
Fortune is asked to look into the situation before the inept local sheriff railroads the couple or simply allows gossip to run them out of business, which will cost them their home. Swamp Team 3 heads to Voodoo Island to find a way to clear the couple and finds a complicated mess of locked doors and old secrets awaiting them. Is Voodoo Island really cursed? Or can Fortune unravel the mystery and lead her team to victory?
Anyway, if you do enjoy a really fun read you will enjoy reading about Fortune, Ida Belle and Gertie.
I will have to add these to my library list. I'm in total agreement with the last meme on this post. 😉
ReplyDeleteThere's a new weekly mystery on tv this year, "Murder in a Small Town". No car chases. No big shoot outs. A nice mystery tied to a wonderful character study. The show is based on mystery novels by the late Canadian author L.R. Wright. Amazon has a 7 set series; I think I'm going to gift these to me for Christmas.
Enjoy your books. Thanks for sharing your review.
I have seen that listed in our streaming services and have wondered about the show. I will check it out now and probably check out the books as well. Thanks for the recommend too.
DeleteLove reading books, but sadly I haven't made any time lately. I need to slow down and curl up with a book. I'm going to check these out.
ReplyDeleteHave an marvelous day! (((BIG HUGS)))
You too and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
