So, I’ve been reading the very prolific Jane Deleon and her Miss Fortune series for a few years now. Admittedly, it sometimes feels like a train wreck too horrifying to look away from. But with this last one in the series…
It was such a chaotic mess. And I kind of love it for being such a mess (there is a reason I’ve read up to book #19 in this cozy mystery series!) But…
My attorney brain flinches every time the characters do anything in this book. These “detectives” scheme with mob bosses to break into buildings, threaten suspects, and bribe their way into places they shouldn’t be. All with zany humor that involves…chaos.
To say nothing of the pet alligator who keeps chomping down on suspects.
I just feel like there is a much more interesting side series going on here with the local DA who can’t put anyone in jail because the “detectives” who deliver the murderers keep messing up the evidence and costing the city millions of dollars in lawsuits.
