Well, I had a lot of time today to wait--and read! I finished three books in the Miss Fortune series by Jana DeLeon. They were Reel of Fortune, Swamp Spook, and Fortune Furlough. I enjoyed them all, having gotten to know the main characters in all of the previous books!
Reel of Fortune--Fortune joins Gertie and Ida Belle in a fishing tournament. What could possibly go wrong fishing? Well, when a local drunk and all around pain in the neck ends up murdered, and Ally is the prime suspect, Fortune, Gertie and Ida Belle start investigating to clear her name.
Swamp Spook--Sinful celebrates Halloween in a big way, with a week long celebration. There is a spooky maze made of hay bales, that is populated with many scary characters--including Fortune as an execution--complete with prop dummy with a detachable head that she "chops" off! In the middle of the event, there is a break and when everyone returns to the maze, Fortune discovers her prop dummy is now a real murder victim!
Fortune Furlough--Fortune, Gertie and Ida Belle decide they need a vacation and a change of scene, so they go off to Florida to drink and relax on the beach. Gertie finds herself a gentleman to date on her first night, but his body is discovered the next day. The local police officer in charge of the case is in a rush to blame someone to look good for a promotion he wants, and he doesn't particularly care if it is the guilty person or not. He decides Gertie, old and from out of town, is the perfect choice. Once again, the team investigates to find the real murderer!
Love these books and looking forward to more in the near future!
There three are part of my 2019 Cruising for Cozies Challenge.
Fortune Furlough is also Florida for my Around the States Challenge.
