Jana DeLeon Grows the Miss Fortune Mystery Series to 5

Redding Fortune does it again. Or rather Jana DeLeon does. As the author of the Miss Fortune mystery series, DeLeon brings about the most charming wit and hilarity to present us with a wonderful series of murder mysteries.

Every one of her mysteries are cannot-put-down books for me. And Gator Bait is no different. In fact, it's the best yet. Which is saying quite a lot!

Gator Bait is the 5th novel in the Miss Fortune mystery series. It brings back our comic hero, CIA agent Redding Fortune along with her fun cast of characters in Sinful, Louisiana, the small town on the Bayou where murder and mayhem abound.

Fair warning here. If you haven't heard of the Miss Fortune mystery series, or haven't yet read Louisiana Longshot, the first in the series, then immediately head to Mystery Book World and get your copies of all five in the series.

Then plan out lots of time for thoroughly enjoyable reading. Honestly, I have a terrible time with

reading these mysteries. Mainly because I hate to put them down. Doing those mundane life things certainly get in the way of reading a Miss Fortune mystery novel.

Oh yes, I have read thousands of great mysteries. Many are hard to put down. But author DeLeon has done the most amazing job of making these the hardest to put down! I'm waiting with baited breath for installment 6 in the Miss Fortune series.

Don't overlook DeLeon's other great mystery series, Ghost-In-Law. Doesn't that title just draw you to find out more? And you won't be disappointed. Another series of the most delightful and funny mysteries on the planet.

Discovering the Miss Fortune Mystery Series

Many of you may already know of this great mystery series, but I've only recently discovered Miss Fortune. Jana DeLeon as the talented author, shows you right up front what you are getting. Hilarious mystery stories. The heroine's name is Fortune Redding!

As of this writing, there are 3 in the series, all set in the small town world of the Louisiana Bayou. My dearest wish is that Jana DeLeon is working on the 4th even as we speak! Now, that's saying something about a mystery series.

We're not talking about world literature here. We're talking about armchair mysteries. Those that allow you to curl up in your favorite armchair and spend an afternoon absorbed in the mystery. In other words, pretty easy reading. But, funny reading as well.

The author has a great talent for humor writing, along with good mysteries, plenty of plot twists and perfect layout of settings. Yes, I've been to the Bayou. In fact I still have family there, so I know what of I talk about. Reading the Miss Fortune mysteries took me back to that world so easily.

I think Jana DeLeon got it right with this series. The perfect kind of mysteries to have fun reading. Miss Fortune mystery series.
