About this eBook

Let the good times roll?

It’s Mardi Gras time and Fortune is looking forward to seeing the spectacle firsthand, but when a visitor to Sinful is murdered during the celebration there, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie can’t help but wonder what happened. As they start looking into the woman and the family in Sinful she came to visit, their investigation sends them to New Orleans, right at the height of the Mardi Gras celebration. But instead of relaxing a little and enjoying the festivities, Fortune can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched. 

When she catches sight of her father in the Mardi Gras crowd, she knows why.

Unfortunately, her father’s presence in Louisiana has brought with it a host of terrorists, all with only one thing in mind—locate and terminate Dwight Redding. Can Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie manage to evade the killers long enough to figure out why Dwight has returned from the dead? And will knowing the answer make things worse or better?

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely exceptional as always. Best series I've ever read and every single book always delivers 15/10. Shame I can only give it 5 stars.

Jana never disappoints. Read it in one sitting. Laughed so hard. Having been to a Mardi Gras, the description brought back great memories. Perfect place for Gertie, Ida Belle and Fortune. The series keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next book.

I qm so happy to see Fortune and the Gang up to their shenanigans. There is never a dull moment when they are around. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is one of my favorite series to read. The only disappointment is how fast I read it.
