Description

No smoke without a fire.

It’s New Year’s in Sinful, and the competition for the New Year’s Queen is heating up as the warring churches go head-to-head. Fortune Redding is not the sequined dress kind of woman, but reluctantly agrees to partake in the debacle so that Ida Belle and Gertie can best their nemesis, Celia, who’s put up former Sinful mean girl RJ Rogers.

RJ and her friend Brock Benoit left plenty of devastation in their wake when they fled Sinful after high school. So when they return and Brock is found dead, there’s no shortage of suspects. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie know all too well what it’s like to live under suspicion of a crime with no resolution. When good people become the targets of gossip, they know they have to rush to unravel the tangled lives of RJ and Brock and expose a killer before the wrong person’s reputation is ruined. Or worse—they’re arrested for a crime they didn’t commit.

    She really needs to hire a copyeditor to check for grammar and typographical mistakes. When I see one, it stops the flow of the story.
  • The ending of this book was by far one of my favorites!!

    There is a parade to elect the Queen of the New Year. Ida Belle and Gertie are trying to get Fortune to compete and there is a money prize but the bragging rights are even better. They do get Fortune to compete and all things start to happen at the end of the parade. An old resident of Sinful has returned home and is competing but she and Brock who left Sinful are part of the new problem and mystery. Of course there is a murder but the story gets interesting with someone who wants to try being a detective and the past will bite two people really good. This story is mostly a mystery but there is a bit of past romance and the Swamp Team 3 still have some antics which will keep you interested. I love this series of books and look forward to reading more of them!
