It's Halloween festival in Sinful Louisiana. Frightfully Fortune by Jana DeLeon starts with a decapitated horserider in the middle of the festival. But the dead man Gil Forrest died days ago in New Orleans. Why is his body here? This is obviously a case for Miss Fortune and her friends Ida Belle and Gertie much to deputy Carters dismay. This plot is filled with suspects and it involves the usual antics from Swamp Team 3. I find this series very entertaining and it always makes me laugh.

Another good and amusing read in the Miss Fortune Mystery series. Again the book follows the tried and well working formula of this series. That of course means that it starts with Fortune & Co discovering a body under mysterious as well as hilarious circumstances.

Well, I guess it cannot really be said to be a “discovery” when the corpse in question rode into the Halloween festivities on a horse… without his head. The horse was alive by the way.

What follows is the usual investigations interspersed with various misfortunes ranging from funny to hilarious. All while trying to evade Carter of course… and the wrath of Celia Arceneaux after her having been chased out of a maze by a skunk that just happened to fly in her way that and of course, according to the psychopathic bitch in question, was Fortune’s fault.

Sounds weird and crazy? Nah, just another day in Sinful.

Of course there are a few twists, a whole lot of colorful characters and some surprises along the line but all that ends well and all that. Well not for the murdered guy of course but it is a murder mystery after all.
