DNR Agent Margaret Ancelet enjoys the quiet life in Sinful - dodging her socialite twin, Peggy Sue, visiting her crazy mother in Mudbug, and trolling the bayou for illegal activity. Life is good until the father who abandoned her as an infant turns up dead in the swamp. Who else can help her but Ida Belle, Gertie and Fortune? And they've got their work cut out for them as they try to solve two mysteries - who Hugo Ancelet really was, and who killed him?

This is a really enjoyable, quick read! What makes this novella special are the quirky characters. They are a lot of fun. It was also interesting to learn about bayou living and Southern customs. I can't wait to read more of Leslie Langtry's work and also to read more Miss Fortune adventures.

Cute short story. Margaret finds out her dad (who disappeared when she was little) was shot in the swamp. Her twin wants her to prove their mother's innocence (and save her reputation). She ends up hooking up with Fortune, Ida Mae and Gertie who help her discover the truth.

Five million...what?

Enjoyed reading the book. These additional characters to the series are hilarious. Hope more characters and books to come. Wonder if So-So will return or if he finds something out in the marshes..

Super!

I was hesitant to admit a substitute author into the Miss Fortune series, but I adore her writing, and will look at her other books now as well.

Hilariously funny, great story, highly recommend

I love this addition to the Miss Fortune series, all your favorite characters are included, small town mystery with a twist. Love the twin sisters I am sure we can all related to having one or both of these sisters even if you are not a twin. Ida and Gertie are true to form.

Nice, quick read

This book stayed true to the original characters, but I would have liked to have see more of them in the story. I missed the humor of the original stories, as well. Otherwise, it was a nicely crafted novella, well enough written that I will check out the author's other books.

Gam enjoyable read

I love the characters in this book. Gerti and Ida and Fortune are always fun. The book was over to soon though, I was definitely just really getting into the book and it was over so quick. A good short story. Would of loved it to be longer.

While this didn't have all of the laughs i usually experience reading the Miss Fortune series...I still really enjoyed reading this contribution to the series. Sinful ladies are my faves, I recommend this series to Everyone!

Very enjoyable

Great addition to the De Leon Miss Fortune books. I enjoyed getting to see Ida, Gertie and Fortune from Nargaret's point of view.
