Louisiana Longshot by Jana DeLeon Book Summary

It was a hell of a long shot....

CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever—in Sinful, Louisiana. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world’s largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element. Posing as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town seems worse than death to Fortune, but she’s determined to fly below the radar until her boss finds the leak and puts the arms dealer out of play. Unfortunately, she hasn’t even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard.

Thrust into the middle of a bayou murder mystery, Fortune teams up with a couple of seemingly sweet old ladies whose looks completely belie their hold on the little town. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions. If she’s not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. Armed with her considerable skills and a group of elderly ladies the locals dub The Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it’s too late.

What authors are saying:

“Southern wit at its best!” - NYT Bestselling author Gemma Halliday

“Sinfully funny!” - NYT Bestselling author CC Hunter/Christie Craig

What readers are saying:

“If you like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, you’ll love Miss Fortune.”

“This was a hoot!!! If you like mysteries and Southern eccentrics, this is the book for you. More twists and turns than the Louisiana bayou.”

“It has a flavor of Miss Congeniality, but it is much more than that.”

“I read this book in one night, unable to put it down because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.”

“I’ve rarely thanked writers for the entertainment they provide. Nevertheless, I feel strangely compelled not only to thank this author, but to recommend this book to everybody and anybody – I give it five laugh out loud stars!”

Loved this read!. Great story line. Characters are fantastic. Clear writing. Loved this book. Funny too. On to the next episode. Thank you for making me laugh.

Louisiana Longing. Very fun and entertaining Fun characters Great Story

Louisiana Longshot. Very good read and I love a great mystery, especially with humor involved. Only problem, I wasn’t ready for it to finish. You will more than enjoy this book. Happy reading!!

Lousiana longshot. Not the worst book I’ve ever read but the plot could have been better. Pretty u believable and once again the police are made out to be buffoons, I don’t like that. It’s easy to be a critic buy you won’t find me trying to write a book. Thanks, g

Louisiana Longshot. Good book. It was funny and had several twists.

Entertaining read. Craziness in the Louisiana bayou.

Louisiana Longshot. A thrilling page turner that will keep you guessing ‼️‼️‼️

Great Read !!. This was a lot of fun to read especially after I had read some really heavy things!! I really just have to say that really enjoyed this read and all the ladies in this book !! I will be getting the rest of this series for sure in my library!!

Great Book. The characters are very interesting and the descriptions written by the author were fantastic. Fun book to read.

Louisiana Longshot. Interesting, twisted plot; authentic Louisiana places and proper names. As former military, it all fit right in! Enjoyable story all the way through. Thanks!

Louisiana Longshot. Colorful characters, just enough adventure, left me wanting to read the next in their series!

A delicious read!. A delicious, top notch mystery, amid lovable characters bursting with funny dialogue and hilarious antics. Loved this book!

👍. Love this book! And her other books 😊

Louisiana Longshot. A fast readings cozy mystery filled with strong women. Twists and turns that keep you turning the pages.

Excellent!!. Jana DeLeon is my favorite writer. I’ve read most of the Mother in Law series, I find myself laughing so hard. She doesn’t skimp on the mystery part either, and I am hooked on anything she writes. Big fan excellent author!

Liked the banana pudding race and all the jabs at the SBC. A good read! Thanks!. See above/

Hysterically funny. OMG this book was not what I was expecting. It was so beautifully written and the storyline so believable but some of the parts were so funny I was actually laughing out loud: over and over again. If you like Janet Evanovich, you will doubly enjoy this tale.

Louisiana Longshot. Fanciful and fun. Reminds me of Janet Evanovich’s main character. Liked it a lot.

A fun read. Well written and full of Southern humor. I liked the story and the believable characters.

A fun cozy. This is a fun run through the Louisiana bayou. Slightly more complicated than most cozy mysteries, the characters are what make it memorable. The setting of a small town in Louisiana could have been played up more and could have added more to the story. Like most cozies the small town setting makes murder seem out of place and more jarring than homicide in the big city. In spite of these small concerns, this is a fun story with a unusual ending. At least once there was a “I know who did it and there’s no reason to keep reading “moment followed by a “boy was I wrong! “ I love it when that happens – it is so great when an author keeps you guessing until the end.

Great book. This book is full of surprises and kept me guessing what would happen next.

Louisiana longshot. Really good and fun read! Clever and unexpected would and have recommended!

This series not for me. I can’t rate this book even with just one star. But I guess I’ll have to give it at least one star or I’ll not be allowed to submit my rating.

Convoluted!. I loved it!

Loved it!. Was looking for some new authors to read. Saw this & two other books by this author as a free download. I finished this book in essentially one day. I loved it. It is everything I like about a book. It is easy to read, moves along nicely, gives just the right amount of detail, & has my type of humor. I have now become a fan of this series & author. Have already recommended this book to friends.

Funny, flirty and action. Loved this book it was entertaining without being over the top raunchy addicted to this series now

Great book!. This was a very entertaining, funny story. I hated to see it end...wanted to read more about the Sinful ladies and their antics. I highly recommend this!

Great. Loved this book

I laughed out loud. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Laughed out loud at the situations that Fortune got into, especially around the deputy. If you want a story that is clean, funny, and will keep you guessing this is it.

Louisiana Longshot Ladies. This cozy mystery was a delightful discovery. The storyline was absolutely original, and the characters were laugh-out-loud entertaining. Both were quirky, and the plot kept me glued to the end. Don’t miss this one!

Loved it. Funny clever and great characters.

Strong women/Great story. An enjoyable story with many “laugh out loud” moments. Development of the characters was great and I appreciated the fact that there were so many strong women characters in this book. Highly recommend this author!

Love these Ladies. I don’t think I have ever done a book review before, but for this series I really felt I must. I think I am on book 10 now and absolutely LOVE these characters.

Louisiana Longshot. Fantastic story line, fantastic characters, I love it when old ladies are involved.

Really fun read:). This was a great story. The descriptive writing seemed to represent the lifestyle and flavour of bayou living and the characters were easy to relate to. The intense intrigue from the mystery surrounding the land inheritance was well balanced by the hilarious rompings of the ghostly mother in law. Well worth reading! I'm just off to buy the next ones in the series:)

Louisiana hotshot. Brilliant and so funny couldn’t put it down

Fun and funny. Made me laugh out loud in some places. Nice little twists

Y’know what’s Sinful? Not leaving a review :). I place this delightful read in the Rose Gardener/ Addison Holmes camp. The protagonist, Fortune is easy to read along with on her escapades. Add a man candy, and island named No. 2- hahaha, a GSOH, bad guys and two Sinful dames w brains (bless ‘em) and you have a neat & tidy sleuthing adventure in the Deep South. I am more than biased towards Rose Gardener and Addison Holmes respectively, but this Miss Fortune series will hopefully join them on the top three podium.

Louisiana long shot. Oh my lord, the first book had me in stitches on the bus, at work, at home, in the doctors surgery!! I loved this story, the characters and the humour. I have since downloaded the next 3 in the series and finished 2. About to start on the 3rd so can't wait. Haven't laughed so much since Donna Joy Usher. Regards Rondah Saville

Hilarious read!. I love, love, love this book! Great characters, great storyline and I love that it is set in small town Louisiana. For all of us non-"girlie" women, this is a great read.

Louisana Longshot. Fabulous . Enough intrigue , well built characters and boy what a laugh . I loved it .

Great read!. Fantastic heroine and support cast. Definitely worth a read! Waiting for more..

Light and fun read. She has a cheeky, humorous writing style. Reminds me of Carl Hiassen. Written in first person, this is really fun for male readers.

Left me wanting more. This is a great read, reminds me of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum, but original story and characters. Am delighted there’s a whole series awaiting.

Louisiana Longshot. A wonderfully crafted story. A bit long winded in getting started, but well worth surprises along the way.

Fabulous book. I thoroughly enjoyed this Jana Deleon book too. A new host of characters, and I do mean characters .... A new heroine and a new town. Great recipe for another top notch read. I have already bought and started the 2nd in the Fortune Redding Series. I will read them all. Great job Jana. You're a terrific author.

Bayou’s culture. Entertaining read! Beats all cliches about whodunnit, well done.

A fun read. Enjoyed this from the first page right through. Love the characters and humour. Definitely want to read more of this series.

Hahaha...... Complete nonsense but 100% fun light read

Fun read highly recommended. Great story and the characters are brilliant. Well written and a good page turner!

Another WINNER!. Again, I'm laughing while gobbling up this excellent book by Jana. I've thoroughly enjoyed every page of her work. Very well done! Just purchased the next three of the series as well and know I'll be reading all her books again.

Lousianna Longshot. Enjoyed the characters. Great for a light summer read. Good little mystery with some chuckles.

Louisiana Longshot. Very funny and well written had me in stitches yet had a interesting storyline. I could hardly wait to read each chapter.

Louisiana Longshot. So funny! Great story!

Funny & entertaining. I found this book to be very funny, entertaining and a light read. I will definitely reading the remaining book in the series. All I will say is I wish I had grandmothers like the sinful ladies!

Jana DeLeon's. First book I rate and I have read lots of them. I'm even going to splurge and buy the other tomes !! Funny, well written and very entertaining. Thank you Jana :)

Louisiana Longshot - What a great read !. The adventures, antics and circumstances that the characters find themselves in is a great read and had me laughing out loud many times. The story flows very well and as the pages dwindle one only hopes that this is the beginning of a series as I never wanted the story, or its characters, to stop. A FANTASTIC DELIGHT TO READ ! I recommend it to all who love adventure, mystery, and a good laugh as the story unfolds. A talented and skilful author whose work I would love to read more of.

Great writer.. Fantastic writer, story teller!
