“This book is pure fun from beginning to end. A flat-out great read.” Teresa, Readers Live A Thousand LivesLucky Boucher never has to go looking for trouble. Trouble finds her just fine all on its own.What do a dead guy, a stolen pig, and night vision goggles have in common?In this case, me.Hi, I’m Annabelle Boucher, but everyone calls me Lucky. Despite my nickname, I’m a magnet for trouble. I … but everyone calls me Lucky. Despite my nickname, I’m a magnet for trouble. I can get myself into more jams and pickles than ants at a picnic. My most recent predicament involves being nearly killed by a dead body then finding a note that implicates me in the murder. My only option is to find the killer and clear my name. Fortunately, I have the help of a surly ex FBI agent, a 102-year-old mobster that looks like Mrs. Claus, and my wacky menagerie of rescue animals.
Many of my stories begin with me doing something “inadvisable” and end with me catching a criminal. This one is no different. But you’ll soon learn that, with me, the middle is where things always get interesting.

This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill “cozy mystery.” This book is anything but typical. From the first chapter, I was laughing out loud and couldn’t wait to read more.
For starters, the characters in this book were so well-written that I forgot I was reading and thought I was watching the story play out in real life. The cast is described in so much detail that you could visualize them perfectly, their dialogue is believable, and they are incredibly likable. Annabelle or “Lucky” was hilarious. She is sarcastic, witty, smart, and loyal. She makes a wonderful heroine of an enjoyable story. Besides the main character, there are also some important supporting characters who add a lot of humor and story as well. Liam, a potential love interest, who’s brooding, cynical, but not without his charm. Also Lucky’s best friend, Regina, who is the perfect “ride or die” for Lucky’s hobby of solving crimes/murders.
As if the characters aren’t enough to keep your interest, the storyline is also entertaining. It isn’t the average “whodunit” that you can figure out the ending after the first few chapters. This book has depth to the plot and reasoning behind the actions of the antagonist. The story is fast-paced and so much fun. When it ended, I was so engrossed in the book and where the characters might go, that I was eager to start the next book in the series.
If you’re looking for something that keeps you laughing and on your toes with shenanigans, break-ins, potential love interest, and crime solving, then Lucky and the Falling Felon is a good book for you.
I cannot put into words just how much I loved this book and how fun it was and how it was exactly the book I needed at the time. This book is just pure fun from beginning to end. And it’s the perfect book to sit down with and breeze through in a few short hours. It’s a quick read, but addictive and a great escape from the real world. Lucky and her antics are an absolute riot and you just cannot help but love her. She always seems to find herself in the middle of trouble and she’s always caught up in something ridiculous and it just makes for such a good time. She has such a big heart and especially for animals and I loved that about her. When trouble finds Lucky again she is determined to solve the case and won’t let anything get in her way… not even grumpy former FBI agents named Liam. And speaking of Liam, I loved him too. He is grumpy and cranky but that makes him play off Lucky so well. These two working together made for some great banter and fun times. Lucky And The Falling Felon is just a flat out great read and one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still delivers an engaging and addictive plot with great characters and I seriously hope I get to check in with Lucky again in the future.
Product testing shouldn’t put your life in danger…..or could it? For Lucky Boucher – the trouble that seems to lurk around every corner just came barreling through the sky. While on a product testing run, Lucky finds herself skydiving right into the body of a dead man. Where did this unlucky duck come from? Why is he in the middle of nowhere?
With so many questions surrounding the mysterious circumstances that Lucky landed in the middle of, it’s no wonder the amateur detective is determined to uncover answers. There are secrets surrounding this debacle that might place Lucky in the middle of a case that is sure to bring trouble knocking at her door. In spite of all the quirkiness, Lucky has quite the expertise in solving crimes. After all – Annabelle Boucher earned the name ‘Lucky’ for a reason. Let’s hope that her luck doesn’t run out before this crime is solved.
Lucky and the Falling Felon is the first book in the Carriage House Capers by Emmy Grace. It is full of sarcasm and hilarious antics that kept me entertained throughout the book. With a menagerie of animals incorporated in the daily antics of our heroine, there is no wonder the chaos of this wannabe detective will keep you laughing while the current mystery unravels. Who knew fumbling through the chaos of solving a mystery could be so entertaining? Let Lucky guide you through the unsolved mystery that will show you why Annabelle earned the nickname ‘Lucky’!!
This book was so fun. I couldn’t stop laughing. Lucky was a corky, over the top, klutzy pet lover. If you are looking for just a fun mystery read then this book is it. All the side characters where fun. And Lucky is just so Lucky you can’t help but love her and laugh at all her shenanigans. I’m looking forward to the other books in this series.
She’s just a girl, trying to solve a murder. Lucky is a true crime fanatic with a penchant for stumbling into trouble. Just another normal night for Lucky hangin with a pig, standing next to a dead body, and having her hair blown out by high voltage current. She’s not one to shy away from trouble in fact she runs towards it.
Lucky lives in a small Cajun town community where everybody knows everybody’s business.
With a nickname like Lucky it’s funny to image her klutzy tendencies and penchant for trouble.
Lucky is an amateur detective who routinely watched Matlock murder show on television as a kid.
Overall:
The sarcasm just rolls off the tongue of Lucky’s mouth. I never expected this type of writing flare from Emmy Grace. I had a permanent smile on my face from reading this book. Emmy Grace even got a chuckle or two out of me.
Lucky’s shenanigans had me laughing so hard I almost snorted.
You’d think hiding a secret in this town would be impossible somehow Lucky proved that some secrets are easy to reveal if you do the investigative work.
Humorous soft murder mystery with animals, shenanigans, and wannabe detectives. This is a story appropriate for all ages. It’s a fun and easy read.
Loved this book! I felt better after reading this laugh out loud, feel good book! Lucky and her best friend are two believable characters! The humor is perfect! Highly recommend! A must read!
Funny, entertaining, and a great cozy mystery. Loved it!
Omg I loved this book sooooo hard!!! It was hilarious, so much that I had to read off portions to my hubby (the imaginary camera part was one of them!). This mystery is just the kind I like… I loved Lucky’s character… reminds me so much of myself in ways. Oh, Liam… sigh. I can foresee sooo much happening in the future with him and Lucky. Each of the characters was unique especially Haddy… oh my!! It would be a hoot to meet someone like her.
Definitely read this!! I highly recommend it. And I CANNOT wait to read the next books in this series!!
4.5 stars
This book is really laugh out loud for me. Its so good. Absolutely amazing. It was my first take on cozy mystery and Emmy Grace didn’t disappoint!!! I really enjoyed it alot. Lucky is the most entertaining character i have ever read and her animals omg i was laughing so much. And Liam is hot former FBI agent. Can’t wait to see if something will happen between them. Can’t wait for book 2
