Venus Thibodeaux had a reputation for being trouble. Some said she started at birth. When she finally left Sinful shortly after turning eighteen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When she blew back into town four years later, no one was happy about her return. She immediately launched into her same old scams, picking off Sinful residents with ease before disappearing again as quickly as she¿d … she¿d appeared.
Everyone assumed she¿d headed back to New Orleans.
But when an accident at the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Run uncovers her body, everyone Venus took for a ride becomes a suspect. The man at the top of that list sees the writing on the wall and hires Fortune to figure out who killed Venus, before he goes to prison for a murder he didn¿t commit. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie start poking around into Venus¿s complicated life, hoping to find the killer. And to solve their first official case.

Love all these books
Great book
Loved it
I love these books with Fortune and the ladies. It is a laugh out loud trip non stop.
I am well into this book, and like all those before it, this one is funny, surprising and just flat out fun. I really love Jana DeLeon’s books, this is my favorite series, her serious mystery series is my favorite and her ghost series is a less favorite although it is still fun. She can write in so many approaches and her characters always come alive and you care about them. This one is about the first official case of Fortune and the Swamp teams PI agency, and they are hired by someone they thought would rather shoot them. That’s just the beginning of the fun. I know the ride will be worth it, it always is.
I love the series. Look forward to each new release
There’s not as much laugh-out-loud humor in this book as in previous ones, but it’s still a fun story and a great mystery!
