A Sinful Mistake

Miss Prim & Proper Mysteries #4

by Caroline Mickelson

Just when life appears to be settling into a quiet routine, the news that Gertie plans to ride off into the sunset with Bull Dozer sends shock waves through Sinful.  Despite possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of etiquette, Stephanie soon realizes that her life as Miss Prim & Proper hasn't taught her the first thing about wearing a wire, the proper use of handcuffs, or how to pose as an illegal arms dealer. Between discovering a million-dollar life insurance policy taken out against Gertie's life, uncovering Bull's illegal activities, not to mention moving Ida Belle into a nursing home, Stephanie and Fortune are forced to work together to sort through the mess that threatens the very existence of Swamp Team Three.

Another great read from Sinful!

Swamp Team Three: Idabelle, Gertie, and Fortune, are true to their characters in this novella. This is the fourth in a series featuring Stephanie, Idabelle's great niece. Stephanie is a Yankee, whose career as an etiquette columnist for a Boston newspaper has her compulsively critiquing the manners others even when the others are Big and Little Hebert.
Another entertaining adventure in Sinful. May Swamp Team Three add a Fourth!

Not as good as the original but still a satisfying read.

In this the latest in the series we find Gertie in love and planning to leave Sinful with her future husband. Stephanie just back from a weekend in New Orleans with Kase is shocked at the thought of the Swamp Team Three being disbanded but before any of them can process their shock Ida Belle is injured in an accident disrupting things further.

Super fun

This addition to the Fortune series was really fun! A few typos but but the story was interesting and true to the series.

Not as good as her previous novels in this series. The ending was rather a let down. And let's not mention the typos that some judicious editing should have caught.
