Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon



I listened to the unabridged audio version of Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon and narrated by Cassandra Campbell over the weekend.

Listening time for Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon is 7 hours, 20 minutes.

I am a sucker for audiobooks and I am also a cozy mystery novel lover. So, when I discovered Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon on Audible, I decided to download and listen to this cozy mystery novel after reading the plot summary online and hearing a brief audio sample of it on Audible.

I enjoyed listening to Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery. It is very well narrated by Cassandra Campbell. I will be looking into other audiobooks she narrates in the future. Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery is a fun, funny, and nicely paced cozy mystery novel that never has a dull moment! The main characters are a whole lot of fun and the antics they find themselves in are quite a hoot... I found myself laughing out loud a few times during this novel. I really enjoyed listening to Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery and look forward to reading (or listening to) other novels written by Jana Deleon in the future.

The following is a plot summary for Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon from Audible:
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.
I am giving Louisiana Longshot: A Miss Fortune Mystery (Volume 1) by Jana Deleon a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!
