Gator Bait

I lost my husband of 55 years 3 years ago and nothing has made me want to laugh since UNTIL These books! I started with Her first Louisiana Longshot (A Miss Fortune Mystery, Book 1) and I laughed so hard tears were pouring out of my eyes. Last night reading book #7 I said how can someone make this stuff up??” Gads it is so dang funny. I have a good imagination so I can See these things happening and OMG hilarious! Thank you Thank you for putting some laughs back into my life!

I enjoyed these books at the start, but now I find the entire series to be too static. Theres no change here, its just the same scenes, same humor, same characters and just a different mystery to be solved. The author is incapable of expanding her storyline and it looks like her formula writing continues to sell, so if it aint broke, why fix it. Reading these books is like binge watching The Beverly Hillbillies. Lots of low level chuckles but not much thinking is involved. Well, I see no reason to buy the next nine books in this series to read the same story.

Of you like Sandra Hill or other authors with a sense of humor you will love this whole series as much as I do. They are great stories with 2 extremely unlikely heroines in conjunction with a skilled operative in hiding that will have you laughing out loud. I recommend reading the first four before you get out of order because they lay a lot of groundwork. This series is unique but spellbinding like nothing else I’ ve read and it puts a whole new spin on geriatric , retired soldiers. ENJOY! If living near the bayou is this much fun, let’s move!

Gator Bait. Great book! Another one I couldn’t put down. I thought about it when I was at work, wishing I could read it there! I kept thinking about Fortune and Carter, and I am hoping they get together soon, and hoping he is understanding when she tells him about herself! I think he will. I read every night before bed, and I can’t put the book down. I resent my clock telling me I need to put my book down and go to sleep! Her books and this series are the best I have ever read. I am over 60 years old and have been reading mysteries, romances and adventure books forever. But these books are the most enjoyable I can remember reading. I just wish there were about 30 more in this series! lol The shenanigans these women get into to are hold your breath and sitting on the edge of your seat, and often funny! I just laugh and laugh sometimes. My husband has me read some of them to him and he asks me what the women are up to now? Oh I love these books! I just hope Ms Deleon writes more and more!!

Fortune and Carter finally have their first date. Unfortunately, the next morning Deputy Breaux notifies her that he is missing after taking the sheriff’s boat out to where Fortune and Carter had their date. Fortune finds his boat going down for the count and Carter nowhere to be found above water. She was able to dive and recover his body. Carter had been shot twice and had a head injury.

When the ATF shows up in town, they only make things worse by their attitude toward local police enforcement. To make things worse, one of the ATF agents knows Fortune and could blow her cover.

The characters in these books are so engaging. I can scarcely wait to see what they are going to do next. This was the fifth book in the series. I think that the books are best read in order.
