Excellent, super fun cozy mystery! Every so often I get an itch for one of these. The Stephanie Plum series had always helped fulfill me, but since I'm caught up on all and always awaiting the next one - I am on the look for substitutions. I'm picky with my humor and sometimes these cozies can ...
This was a fun read. I liked the heroine,Fortune, a CIA assassin hiding in the bayou 'cause there's a price on her head. She tries to blend in, but a suspicious deputy keeps finding her doing illegal things--though not the important illegal things; however, her new friends help her, when they'r...
This is a delightful and fun series. Mischief in Mudbug could be read as a stand alone, but I think reading the first book and understanding the history between the characters enriches the story. Whereas Trouble in Mudbug centered around Maryse and her friends, this book centers around her friend...
If you don't mind a story that is far-fetched, you will laugh yourself silly for six hours reading this. Every page is stuffed with those precious one-liners and humorous set ups. I truly wished the book would have resonated with me, but I could not relate to the lead character. She is a CIA assa...
Jana Deleon has another snappy, fun to read story in "Showdown in Mudbug", which I finished last night. I've now checked out two more in the series, "Resurrection in Mudbug" and "Missing in Mudbug". Won't I have some good times over the weekend reading these cutie pies! I expect someone in the ba...
Hilarious second entry in the Miss Fortune mystery series. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Gertie and Ida Belle had me in stitches and wishing they lived down the street. Fortune is always in the thick of things and is as much off center as the rest of the denizens of Sinful, L...
Gotta say, I really, really enjoyed this one. It had some of the funniest scenes in it so far and boy, I love how Fortune feels more and more at home in this hilarious little town. Also the characters develop more depth as they progress throughout the series, especially this book. Funny, good plo...
Jana DeLeon continues to tell a great story with each book and the plot is different from all the other books. She adds interesting and funny characters with each new book. Each book I find one character I just absolutely enjoy. In this book it was Carter since she showed a little more to his ...
Resurrection in Mudbug is the fourth book in Jana DeLeon's ghost-in-law series. For the most part, it is written much better than the previous three and it is less formulaic. While some of it is still predictable, the story has some good surprises.This book has a few points-of-view, which is nice...
My love for this series just continues to grow. In Chaos in Mudbug, there are some repeated ideas (broken boat/type of criminal enterprise), yet Deleon continues to craft unique adventures that border on the thriller genre. What pulls it back is the humor brought out by Ghost-in-Law, Helena. W...
As an independent author, I read this before releasing my first book, and it helped tremendously. I can't recommend this enough to other authors who really want to make a business out of writing without having to do it traditionally, or even switching from traditional to self publishing. I origin...
