Franki really wanted to be a cop, but her mentor was a sleazebag and her lover seemed to prefer lady wrestlers, so she packed up and left Texas for NOLA and her best friend's PI agency. The smothering Italian family had her phone number, though. The verbal humor is great, but the situational humor is guaranteed to have you snorting your caffeine! The publisher's blurb gives hints, but can't really do justice to things like the eccentric ex-stripper who still dresses for pole dancing, or some of the antics the characters get up to. A fun escape read! I had the ebook, but forgot about it until I got the audio. Glad I waited, because Madeline Mrozek gave an absolutely stellar performance! She really enhances any book that she narrates. (  ) jetangen4571 | Nov 30, 2016 |  ) dd196406 | Jan 7, 2016 | ) Jjean7 | Mar 10, 2015 | Limoncello Yellow is an entertaining P.I. detective story. It is full of loveable characters, interesting settings, humor and dating woes. The plot Franki's life is falling apart so she decides to move to New Orleans and become a P.I. with college roommate Veronica. They get a case to work on a murder to solve. Franki's family is trying to find her a husband, especially her grandmother. Franki likes a banker she has just met. Her dating life is full of laughs and drama. The setting is New Orleans from the fashion to Voodoo the story takes us. The characters are fun and unique. From their landlady a ex-stripper who has plenty of stories to share. To Franki's Italian family. To Veronica lawyer turned P.I.. A Nun, Goth, and Voodoo Priestess. Plus everyone else is special too. I would definitely read another book in the series. A light hearted cozy mystery indeed. This is a clean read too. I was given this ebook to read for purpose of giving a honest review and being part of it's blog tour.

The book is filled with small cases juggled with their big case - solving the murder of a boutique manager so that their client doesn't get charged with the murder. Along with their investigations, Franki is also trying to appease her Italian grandmother in Austin by dating "good Italian boys" none of which she is even remotely interested in. But she has found a man who she is drawn to and the resulting interactions are hilarious.
The characters a re over the top, the setting is great, the mystery was a little light. (
