I got to about the 30% mark before coming to the conclusion that I wasn't interested in reading more about Fortune and her friends.Īctually, this is a four-and-a-half star book! OH MY! Finished it last night, and am still giggling over some of the scenes! Shortly after I finished Louisiana Longshot, I borrowed Lethal Bayou Beauty. It looks like my library has all of them, so I might borrow and read the next one. Google tells me there’s 22 books in the series, so that’s a lot to read. I know this is book 1 in a series, and not sure if I’m interested in reading more or not. I didn't see that coming, but does explain why they were so involved in the town’s unsolved mysteries. I was surprised by the twist at the end where we learned Gertie and Ida Belle were former spies. Whichever it was, I enjoyed the book more after that. Not sure it if actually did, or if I just got used to the writing style. Sometime after that scene, I found the humour seemed to lessen. This time wearing nothing but a garbage bag. I did, however, literally LOL when Deputy LeBlanc stopped the car on the road from the bar, and found Fortune in yet another state of undress. I don’t have a great sense of humour at the best of times, so I didn’t laugh as much as the author probably intended. I didn’t find it to be a page turner, but not a difficult read either.Īt the beginning I found the humour almost overwhelming. I finished the book on the 11th, so wrote the review the next morning, while it was still fresh in my mind. If she's not careful, this investigation may blow her cover and get her killed.Armed with her considerable skills and a group of old ladies referred to by locals as The Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it's too late.Time to post your thoughts on Louisiana Longshot.

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. It was a hell of a longshot.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 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.
