Franki Amato Mysteries Box Set, Books 1-3

De: Traci Andrighetti

Narrado por: Madeline Mrozek

The first three mysteries in the USA Today best-selling Franki Amato series: Limoncello Yellow, Prosecco Pink, and Amaretto Amber

When Franki Amato leaves her cheating ex and erratic job as a rookie cop in Austin, Texas, she hopes for a quieter existence at her best friend Veronica’s New Orleans PI firm, Private Chicks. But life in The Big Easy is anything but quiet. Or easy.

Her furnished apartment resembles an old French brothel, and her aging ex-stripper landlady has some rather odd policies. Meanwhile, Franki is hired to investigate a series of bizarre murders in a luxury boutique, a haunted plantation, and a Bourbon Street strip club, and her work puts her in contact with colorful local characters, like voodoo mambos, drag queens, and wealthy socialites, not to mention killers. While she’s on the case, her meddlesome Sicilian nonna tries to crack an ongoing mystery - how to get her married, and pronto - and she might just be Franki’s biggest nemesis.

Fun sassy mysteries

Frankie Amato Mysteries is a fun fast paced sassy read. I love how the author crosses the barrier and talks to the audience. I love the sarcastic wit of Glenda. The books are descriptive and entertaining a definite must read. The narrator Madeline Mrozek is perfect for this book she makes it fun to listen to. I received this review copy at my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review because I really enjoyed reading this book.

New favorite PI~

I love Sara Booth Delaney, and now I have Franki Amato to add to my PI list! The box set gave me a big dose of Franki, and all her friends & family, and it was such a treat. Now, I'm hooked and will read all of them!

entertaining in a nice way!

kept trying to decide who the killer was because there were so many people to consider and not sure which one of them it was??

Glinda carries these books

If you like books where you already know what conflicts will arise from misunderstandings and judgmental lead characters then this series is for you. I wanted to stop halfway through book 1 but I forged on. I just wasn’t a fan of such a bullheaded and judgmental lead. Glinda is the best part of these books hands down.

light-hearted and entertaining

enjoyable change of pace from my usual crime and thriller books ... highly recommend author!

That Franki Amato is irresistible!

This series is a perfect mix of humor, cultural and religious education, and sleuthing. The stories are a fast-paced, slapstick look at Nola’s wild society invaded by an Italian Catholic family who operates on the fringes-that area where logic gives up and the family craziness blazes through. This Crazytown is a lovely place to visit; you need to go there; you might even sign a lease.

Vapid Characters mixed with Colorful Characters

Strictly escape read only. Don't expect deep characters of any level that provokes thoughtful consideration. That being said, skip the first chapter of the first book and you will be golden for the crazy hijinks ahead. The first chapter is revolting concerning Frankie's ex-police partner. I almost gave up reading during the first chapter, her partner is that disgusting. However, I'm glad I trudged ahead and met all the other colorful, and sometimes annoying, characters in Frankie's new life in NOLA. Frankie, herself, will leave you scratching your head at times, but you will find yourself laughing out loud and sometimes guffawing. Other times you'll wonder why you're listening to the strange machinations of the character's thinking. If you're looking for a brainless escape to counteract the cares of this world, this box set is it.

Three times the fun!

I really enjoyed this set of Franki Amato mysteries. The characters are a lot of fun and so is the New Orleans setting. The narration is great and Franki is super relatable. She's sassy, smart, and funny. Sadly, she sings like a dying dog, but we all have our flaws.

Entertaining, fun,& easy

I liked this boxed set. Low commitment, good entertainment for car rides and long walks to get out of the house. I enjoyed some fun thrown in with voodoo and witches to keep it fun, light and easy. I like the main character but some of the family dynamics started to annoy me on book 2, but I think you’re supposed to be annoyed by them!?!

Fast paced, fun read

I really enjoyed the storylines, characters of these three books! I bought the next three because I’m hooked!
