It was crazy, fast-paced and full of all the "weird" stuff expected when Fortune, Ida Belle, as Bertie get together! KC 3-19-2022(5-stars) This one was especially fun with many twists and turns.
Very creative plotline that kept me on my toes trying to figure out who dunnit.  LL 1-27-2022(5-stars) I have been reading these for years. This author was able to capture the humor and character of our ladies closer than others. The story had many more adventures as with the original author, Deleon. A fun humour's page turner. Polley 1-8-2022(5 stars) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud in parts and really appreciated the humor and witty dialogue - especially between the Celia and Gertie.
It reminded me a touch of the show Hacks, with it's pacing and cleverly written characters. It's the first cozy mystery book I've read, but now that I have a taste for them I'll surely read more - and from this author, too! Xaymum 12-2-2022(5-stars) Another fast-paced, funny romp for Fortune and the gang, this time through the small-town amateur comedy clubs of Louisiana. The humor and jokes come quick and fast as archenemies Gertie and Celia face off in a no-holds-barred roast.
But of course, murder rears its ugly head and before you know it, it's all hands on deck to apprehend the real culprit. This is another excellent entry in a series that I've come to look forward to. As fast as they are written, I'll read them. DTC 11-24-2021 (5-stars) Hilarious and full of twists. The characters are also amusing and fit just fine in the story. The writing style is also interesting and easy to follow.
Highly recommend. AF 11-30-2022
