Bullets and Beads

This series just keeps getting better. Jana DeLeon is a master at dialogue that is truly funny and always authentic. As always, Swamp Team 3 keeps things lively. There is an incident during the Mardi Gras parade involving Gertie, a nun, a runaway truck, funnel cake, and a squirrel that was so funny, I had to put down the book while I laughed. Plenty of excitement and adventure as well. Fortunes men – Carter, the Heberts, and Manny – keep an eye on things and ride the adventure with her. I think what I love the most about this series is the fully developed cast of characters surrounding Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie. Keeps me coming back for more!

I dont have tell anyone that Jana Deleon knocked it out of the park, AGAIN. Who would think there were so many ways a retired CIA super agent, and two older, ex-soldier, female friends, could get into and out of so much trouble and it be so much fun? I do, now, bc even though this book has two main mysteries to solve, Delon pulled it off and keeps the reader invested in both stories, without them being distracted as the action keeps going back and forth. And FUNNY? I dont know about you, but I want to read stories that keep my mind off of the worlds craziness right now, not ones that are so emotionally draining that I end up even more depressed when I finish, than when I began.
Jana Deleon is an expert at creating funny yet exciting characters and situations that are laugh out loud funny, and are the perfect light read right no. Run to get these books, you wont be disappointed. Gertie, Ida Belle, Carter, Manny, and Godzilla the alligator are all the best cohorts, and always help create the funniest situations EVERY TIME!

Sometimes when there are a lot of books in the same series, the characters and storylines start to get stale. This is not one of those series. This book was just as exciting as the first books. It may be my new favorite. It had excitement and so many laughs. Gertie and her purse. So good. Can’t wait for it to come out on audible so I can listen to it.

Another exciting chapter in our saga of Sinful Louisiana. Fortune finds out about her dad and lots of other stuff too.

Since the first Miss Fortune book, I have loved this series! The characters are well-developed and are engaging. The story lines are well-written, fast-paced and there’s never a dull moment. You might think that, with 17 books, Ms. DeLeon might not be able to keep up the pace and the interest. Well, she definitely put the pedal to the metal, like Ida Belle, and delivered more twists and turns than a Louisiana swamp-country road! I couldn’t put the book down until well after midnight! I can’t wait until the next book is published! They’re as addicting as Allie’s baking!
