Let the good times roll?
It’s Mardi Gras time and Fortune is looking forward to seeing the spectacle firsthand, but when a visitor to Sinful is murdered during the celebration there, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie can’t help but wonder what happened. As they start looking into the woman and the family in Sinful she came to visit, their investigation sends them to New Orleans, right at the height … the height of the Mardi Gras celebration. But instead of relaxing a little and enjoying the festivities, Fortune can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched.
When she catches sight of her father in the Mardi Gras crowd, she knows why.
Unfortunately, her father’s presence in Louisiana has brought with it a host of terrorists, all with only one thing in mind—locate and terminate Dwight Redding. Can Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie manage to evade the killers long enough to figure out why Dwight has returned from the dead? And will knowing the answer make things worse or better?

What can I say? This series keeps getting better and better.
Fun, fun, fun!
Do not get in the way of Gertie getting her beads!
Another dependable read in the series. I didn’t find it as funny as the earlier books because I’m no longer surprised at the antics by Swamp Team 3 and the locals, but it’s still a nice, lighthearted (despite a couple of bodies) read. I liked that we got to see Mardi Gras in both Sinful and New Orleans and I wish I had an acquaintance who could set me up in NOLA like the team.
Fortune gets a surprise which I’m sure will pop up again in the future and I’m looking forward to seeing how that unfolds.
Another fun read with the incorporation of Mardi head. Enjoy the entire series.
I thought the big surprise was obvious, but it’s always fun to spend time with
Fortune and the gang creating havoc. If you haven’t read any of these yet, start at the beginning of the series. They’re silly fun with lots of action.
I LOVE the Miss Fortune series. Can’t wait until the next book is written!
Love the characters. This series is not only action packed but funny. I can’t get enough of Gertie, Fortune, and Ida.
Awesome series. I just love Jana DeLeon! Mud bug series is great as well
Love Jana Deleon, and love this series!
Never a dull moment with these three! Fortune , Gertie and Ida belle just want to have a little fun with Mardi Gras , but murder and mayhem cause them to pursue a case ,and unfortunately for Fortune who is finally starting to feel like she’s leading a semi normal life a blast from the past shows up.
OMG! I have missed these girls! I love this series and I could reread them a hundred times and not get tired of them. I had the whole sister situation figured out in NOLA but I finished the book anyway. I am so ready to see the next book in my local library.
If you like wacky but amazing characters you’ll love the Swamp Team mysteries. I have been hooked on most of Jana DeLeon’s books, but there are where I started and my favorites. The three leads are a former CIA assassin, two former intelligence officers from the Viet Nam era and the crazy residents of Sinful, LA. This one happens during Mardi Gras, adds a new wrinkle to Fortune’s already complex life, and brings in all the favorite characters from Sinful. The heat is escalating for Fortune and I am sure going to be along for the ride.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the ladies from Sinful LA. Another hysterical book of their antics
I await each new book in this series. I would live in a town with these women in it.
As always Fortune and the ladies give their all and don’t disappoint. The characters are great, and it is a laugh out loud read. I have read every book and look forward to the next.
Loved it!
Absolutely loved this one! This one had a great plot, the characters were back to their awesome, crazy selves, and it was such fun to read!
Love the characters!!
LOVED IT!! Gertie and Ida Belle are up to to their usual hi-jinks. Can we say rocket launcher? Add in Godzilla the gator, the Madri Gras, a mystery to solve and you have a wonderful LOL story with lots of adventure. Spoiler alert – Fortune’s dead father shows up and she must save the world too! I highly recommend this book!!
