Louisiana Longshot

A Miss Fortune Mystery, Book 1

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 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.

Fun

This is the first book I have read/listened to from Jana DeLeon. What fun and adventure. Will certainly get next in series today. The narrator was easy to understand and added a lot to the story with the southern accent. I am 71 and think this book would be enjoyed by anyone that has known women with a sense of humor and adventure.

awesome series!

I love this series! Completely unique characters and story line. Funny, entertaining, and leaves you immediately ordering the next in the series. Best narration I've heard.
More please!!

Mel Brooks meets James Bond?

assassins, louisiana, humor, law-enforcement, spies

Super great fun! Think of it as Mel Brooks does James Bond (but female). Don't want to recap the whole story, because the publisher's blurb gives hints and clues and there is no need for spoilers. Just give yourself enough time to laugh yourself silly over the situational and verbal humor.
I am so glad that I got it as Whispersync on the cheap!

laugh out loud

It was a laugh out loud and very entertaining. Ms. Campbell did an excellent job.

loose cannon ladies
