From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jana DeLeon, the fifth book in the hilarious Miss Fortune series.
Things are starting to look up for Fortune Redding. Even though her life was at stake, the CIA assassin had balked at taking on a new identity in Sinful, Louisiana. But instead of hating it like she’d thought she would, Fortune now has friends she cares about and just finished … finished up an incredible first date with the sexiest deputy in the state. Sure, there’s been a murder or two that she’s gotten mixed up in since she arrived in town, but she’s hoping all of that is behind her.
But when someone almost kills Deputy Carter LeBlanc, Fortune tosses her dreams of peace and quiet into the muddy bayou and shifts back into being the deadly trained professional that she is. With the help of Ida Belle and Gertie, Fortune launches a manhunt, intending to find a killer before he tries again.

Gator Bait is the fifth book in Jana DeLeon’s Miss Fortune Mystery series. Despite a couple of murders, things have really settled down for Fortune Redding in Sinful, Louisianna. She loves the town, has friends and has a romantic date with sexy Deputy Sheriff Carter LeBlanc. Unfortunately, he’s missing the following morning and Fortune sets out to find him. She does, he’s been shot multiple times. The ATF arrives and makes a mess of the investigation and Fortune returns to her CIA Assassin mode and with the help of the Geritol Mafia, Gertie and Ida Belle, set’s out to make things right. I’m loving this series. They can be read in any order but I recommend going in order. Enjoy!
Sinking boats. Diving. Another dead body. Sinful is getting a bad reputation for crime since Fortune arrived. But the heat is on and it is looking like she might not make it through the summer before her nemesis discovers her location.
I wanted to click tear-jerker, but knew it would be taken the wrong way. For this book it would mean that you’re laughing so hard that tears are streaming down your face. If you want a book to take your mind off of anything stressful, any of the Miss Fortune books would do it. This one espcially. The blow-up gator alone will do it.
This is one of my favorite series! Crazy characters and fun plots. Enjoy
Miss Fortune has the bad luck or good luck whichever way you want to look at it. I think she would be getting into trouble where ever she lived. A funny and very entertaining book with very good characters along the way. I have read several of these books.
I am enjoying each book in the Miss Fortune Mystery series that I am making myself savor each action packed page. I usually binge read a series but for this one I want to lay back and read. I do wish like Fortune I was hanging out in a hammock with a warm salty breeze coming off the bayou but I can escape there anytime I start a new book. Well done and I’ll begin reading book 6 soon.
Great series with fun characters. This is one of my favorite series. I watch for new releases. Haha Deleon writes a great story. She has a diverse selection of series. This one is fun and light. Love Fortune, Ida Mae and Gertie.
It’s the end of Sinful as we know it. Never saw this one coming and even though there was romance and humor it was still edge of your seat, nail biting action.
Jana DeLeon’s books are funny and entertaining. I just love her characters and their antics!!
Nobody takes pot shots at my man
Book 5 in the series
I recommended to read these in order to understand the characters’ development.
Though set in about 2014, the story is similar to a 1950’s screwball comedy; action and impossibly complex hi-jinks abound.
Ready for a truly lightweight yet clever plotline? This one’s for you.
No sex
No memorable harsh language
Violence (guns) but nothing gory
Suitable for teen-adults
Love this series. A former CIA assassin who must lay low due to a contract on her life is sent to rural Louisiana. Little does she know that the town has several ladies who will involve her in solving multiple murder while keeping her identity secret.
One of my very favorite authors. Great characters who get into situations solving mysteries that make you laugh out loud.
So good I had to re read! Shared this great author with friends so they could laugh out loud while reading too!
Absolutely a wonderful and entertaining read
I have read the entire “Fortune” series. They are easy to read when you are looking for something funny and not terribly thought provoking.
I love the three main characters in this series. Hilarious
Am hooked on this series!
