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 … 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.

I’d give this series a 10 each if I could
This is an outrageous, implausible romp through the town of Sinful. It is funny and engaging. Spend an escapist afternoon with Fortune Redding reading of her misadventures.
This easy-read is very entertaining. Funny and has a twist or two. The story line is good with some fun thrown in. Need more of these good light reads.
Enjoyed reading this first book in a series. It was funny and quite a page turner.
I love all of this series. I wait on pins and needles for the next new book.
Looking for a quick read, fun & quirky characters this is it. This author never fails just fun to read taking one away from reality for an hour or so. Just deliteful.
Don’t take the book seriously.
I really enjoyed this book and plan to read more of the series. If you like mysteries with quirky characters in a small southern town you will love this. I loved the Geritol mafia! This book is great for airplanes because its hard to put down.
Very good mystery with very funny characters. Such a nice relaxing read.
Good humor
Lots of fun.
Unexpected story line, on the edge of your seat and couldn’t put it down. Be prepared to laugh yourself silly. Definitely don’t read on a bus or train people won’t understand you snickering as you read this.
I love Fortune Redding and these books from Sinful, Louisiana. You can’t go wrong with these books. They are so very funny, laugh out loud funny. I love them and highly recommend it.
Love Jana DeLeon books. Great books when you need a laugh.
Absolutely love this entire series. I’ve reread them over and over again.
This book and the series is Stellar!
Awesome series. I laughed out loud. I’ve read this whole series twice. Can’t wait for next in the series.
Had me laughing so hard, while still giving a great mystery story.
This book is an easy read that takes you out of the norm, hopefully you can’t put yourself in this life at all. Makes for a fun read and an easy mental getaway.
Loved, loved, loved this book. CIA Agent goes into hiding as the nice of a deceased homeowner. She makes friends with some local woman who r pretty savy and absolutely hilarious. Crime strikes and all the women decide to solve the mystery, from hopping over fences to sneaking up on the bad guys in both a boat and a car. Absolutely recommend …
Good Fun!
