Description

No one in Sinful liked Pansy Arceneaux, but who hated her enough to kill her?
When aspiring actress Pansy Arceneaux returns to Sinful, Louisiana, to head up the beauty pageant portion of the Summer Festival, CIA assassin Fortune Redding knows she’s in for trouble. Her undercover identity as a former beauty queen makes Fortune the perfect choice to chair the event with Pansy, but Pansy’s abrasive personality makes it impossible to get through a single rehearsal without a fight.
When Pansy turns up dead, Fortune is the prime suspect. 
Armed with only her wits and two conniving seniors referred to locally as The Geritol Mafia, Fortune launches an investigation to find the real killer before her cover is blown.

    Do yourself a favor and pour a cup of coffee with cough syrup aka Sinful’s homemade moonshine and give this a read.

    What a fun book. Small town characters are well developed and the story rolls out with laughs along the way.
  • Loved the twists and turn!

    It is awesome to read a mystery to the end without figuring out the killer halfway through the story…and with so many laughs along the way!!!
  • Perfect cozy mystery

    I have been reading the books in order and I’m about to open book #3. These are easy reads but they’re fun cozy noir mysteries with the same crew that will have you cackling away. I’m more of a true crime or thriller, mystery person but this cozy mystery series is too cute and it’s really good.
  • Loved it!

    At several times during my read, I had to laugh out loud at the antics of the group of Louisiana ladies determined to help a friend being accused of murder.
