About this ebook

‘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.

Jana DeLeon is incredible at catching the reader and drawing them in. Have enjoyed every book she has written. However this book was a little confusing with the disappearance of Molly. Little slower reading in parts where nothing much was going on but interrogation and talk. Very interesting twist at near end of the book. if you want to know what I'm talking about read the book.

What a great roundabout! Two deaths, or were they murders, with one BIG investigation, but with a very happy ending, in more ways than one! A page turner. Suzie
