Publisher Description
‘Til death do us part?
Ida Belle, Fortune, and Gertie are gearing up for the big day—Ida Belle’s wedding to Walter—but when the caterer goes missing just a week before the big day, it puts a huge black mark on the joyous celebration. Molly Broussard is no stranger to being in the limelight, so when the former cage fighter turned in her boxing gloves for pots and pans, everyone who knew her was surprised…until they ate her food.
From all appearances, Molly took her boat out that day and simply never returned. An extensive search of the bayous finally produces the boat, but there is no sign of Molly. With no evidence of foul play, Sinful residents are ready to conclude that this is simply another tragic and all-too-common accident.
Nickel Bordelon spent half of his time in trouble and the other half paying for it. But one thing he knows for certain—Molly was murdered. When he asks Fortune to take the case, she isn’t sure there’s anything to find, but his emotional plea has her agreeing to look into it. As Swamp Team 3 begin their investigation, they find more layers to Molly’s disappearance than in Ida Belle’s wedding cake.
Customer Reviews
The Swamp Team three are at it again
As they prepare for Idaho Belle’s wedding the fun began to solve a murder and deal with IdaBelle and Gertie’s clothing choices. Full of action, fun and surprises. It did not disappoint for sure.
The best one yet
This was my favourite one in the series so far. Once again the author introduced new, colourful characters that seem like real folks, making the world a richer place. Also, compared with its predecessors, this book gifts us with a new variety of savoury emotions. The only thing I didn’t like is where it ended — like a late 1960s-early ‘70s comedy freeze-frame, instead of giving us the satisfied payoff of a complete feast, with another few pages to finish the event. I would especially love to see a family-bonding conversation between the Herberts and their distant cousin, and another between the cousin and Ally. My more minor wishes are to be told the colour of Walter’s last outfit, and given a reason why Ally couldn’t be at the party the night before. Yes I can come up with those myself, but to me that’s far worse than getting through a whole meal at a restaurant without being offered a refill (even though you treat them all with kindness, sympathy, and big tips). Still, this book is five stars.
Love this series!
I hope this series never ends, and I wish there were more like it. At first I read one right after the other. Then I started to worry that the series might end so I read other books in between. As of yet none have had the same punch, the development of characters, the laugh out loud antics. Please keep these ladies in action!
