Soldiers of Fortune (Miss Fortune Mysteries)

CIA Operative Fortune Redding is back in another fun-filled, hilarious adventure. Fortune is still in Sinful, Louisiana hiding out from Ahmad, a very bad man who wants her dead. When the vindictive new mayor (whose election is being contested) fires the sheriff and appoints her lazy, good-for-nothing cousin to the position, the townspeople of Sinful know they’re in trouble. Things go from bad to worse when an explosion rips through the air. At first, no one is too concerned because they’re convinced it’s nothing more than a swamp still exploding. However, when Fortune and her friends learn it was a meth lab that blew, they get very worried. Someone’s cooking drugs in Sinful and they want to know who’s involved. With Carter (a Sinful deputy and Fortune’s beau) still on medical leave, and the new sheriff sitting back with his feet up, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie once again team up to find the people responsible for the explosion before the drugs hit the streets of Sinful. What an enjoyable read! Soldiers of Fortune is a laugh-out-loud story that keeps the reader entertained from beginning to end. Author Jana Deleon has developed a wonderfully wacky group of characters. Fortune has grown since the first book. She has gone from being a loner to caring deeply for her new friends. She is developing a relationship with Carter that both scares and excites her. It bothers her that she has to lie to him about who she really is, and she worries that things will change when he finds out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things work out for them. I’m not sure I’d want to move to Sinful permanently, but I sure do love my visits there. LOL I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Fortune and the gang. I do recommend this series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy reading!

I love the humor in this book. I lived in LA for 12 years and can appreciate all the LA weirdness. Highly recommend if you need cheering up.

4 stars I have so much fun reading this series. I liked Soldiers of Fortune. I laughed so hard at some of these situation that they get into. So much drama, action and mystery. It is also a clean read. The characters are such a wide range of characters. Fortune is the main character. She is a CIA Assassin hiding in the small town of Sinful, Louisiana. As a yankee who inherited her Aunts house. She is hiding because a gun runner put a contract out on her and a mole in the CIA gave them her real name. Ida Belle and Gertie are not your average senior citizens. They were spies during Vietnam War. They still have lots of skills and try to solve the town problems. They are the only ones who know what and who Fortune is. There is a new Mayor in town. She has fired the sheriff and put her own relative in town that no one likes or trusts. Carter is still out on sick leave. A bomb goes off in the swamp most people think it was a still that exploded. But really a meth lab. No one is investigating. So the three of them start to investigate on the side. If you like good snappy dialog and funny situations with strong characters pick up A Miss Fortune Mystery. I so want Carter to find out the truth but don't know how things will work out for them I bought this book from Amazon. Review first published on readalot

If you're looking for fun, adventure, and mystery this is a great series!!! My favorite series of all time!

Such a refreshing author. So, far everyone of her books have been very entertaining.Very talented writer.

These books are great! I love every single one. You never know what shenanigans these 3 are getting into! They make lol for real!

Funny, entertaining. Good story.

I am currently reading book 13. I very much enjoyed books 1 thru 11. For me books 12 and 13 were not as good. Story line wasn't as complex and not nearly as funny. I think I will be finished reading this series as soon as I finish book 13.

This series gets better and better with each book. They are entertaining, funny with a bit of romance, a great combination and to top it all it has a mystery to solve.

Great fun n games in this one. Gertie gets me every time, her ideas are priceless. Love the characters and the budding romance, can't wait to see what happens next x

Como sempre muito divertido! Jana Deleon apresenta suas estórias com muito bom humor e o entretenimento é garantido. Tem até um pouquinho de romance.

ich habe bereits alle Bücher dieser Reihe gelesen und muss sagen ich finde alle Bücher genial, die Charaktere sind einfach liebenswert und das Buch lädt ein zum Lachen. Ich kann es gar nicht mehr erwarten bis der nächste Teil kommt.

Cela faisait très longtemps que je ne m’étais pas autant amusée en lisant les aventures d'un agent secret.... J'en pleurais de rire, les personnages sont excellents et attachants. Tous. Lecture en anglais facile. L'histoire se tient. Du coup j'ai enchainé les 28 tomes. Je recommande à fond.
