CHECK OUT THE VERY LATEST MISFORTUNE NOVEL BY STEPHEN JOHN, ENTITLED An Act of Misfortune. In the shadowed depths of a mystical bayou, Swamp Team 3 embarks on what was meant to be a tranquil getaway. However, serenity gives way to suspense as they uncover the unsettling disappearance of a local treasure hunter, now feared dead. The plot thickens with a chilling revelation: the prime suspect is none other than a spectral pirate from two centuries ago, fiercely guarding his hidden loot. As Fortune, Ida Belle, Gertie, and their comrade-in-arms, the charismatic P.I. Brennan Noble, delve deeper, they find themselves entangled in a web of enigmas and high-stakes adventure. Each clue draws them further into a labyrinth of intrigue, where supernatural forces and earthly dangers converge. Join them as they navigate through a series of bewildering rabbit holes in a relentless pursuit of truth, unraveling the mystery of the murder in a realm where the past haunts the present._______________________________What readers said about Fortune Kookies  (5-stars) "e;I was impressed! Action, comedy and twists in all the right places! Recommend this book to everyone who loves the Miss Fortune books!"e;  Carol 4-15-2022 (5-stars) "e;I loved it! It was crazy, fast-paced and full of all the "e;weird"e; stuff expected when Fortune, Ida Belle, as Bertie get together! KC 3-19-2022 (5-stars) This one was especially fun with many twists and turns. Very creative plotline that kept me on my toes trying to figure out who dunnit.  LL 1-27-2022 (5-stars) I have been reading these for years. This author was able to capture the humor and character of our ladies closer than others. The story had many more adventures as with the original author, Deleon. A fun humorous page turner. Polley 1-8-2022 (5 stars) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud in parts and really appreciated the humor and witty dialogue - especially between the Celia and Gertie. It reminded me a touch of the show Hacks, with it's pacing and cleverly written characters. It's the first cozy mystery book I've read, but now that I have a taste for them I'll surely read more - and from this author, too! Xaymum 12-2-2022 (5-stars) Another fast-paced, funny romp for Fortune and the gang, this time through the small-town amateur comedy clubs of Louisiana. The humor and jokes come quick and fast as archenemies Gertie and Celia face off in a no-holds-barred roast. But of course, murder rears its ugly head and before you know it, it's all hands on deck to apprehend the real culprit. This is another excellent entry in a series that I've come to look forward to. As fast as they are written, I'll read them. DTC 11-24-2021  (5-stars) Hilarious and full of twists. The characters are also amusing and fit just fine in the story. The writing style is also interesting and easy to follow. Highly recommend. AF 11-30-2022
