Summary
It’s Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, but PI Franki Amato has too many problems to celebrate. A proven Sicilian lemon tradition hasn’t landed her a proposal, so her nonna has amped up the meddling to get her married, and pronto.
Franki’s also under pressure to solve the strange murder of a family friend’s nephew, Nick Pescatore, who was found on a Mississippi River steamboat rumored to be haunted. When the sinister old boat sets sail on an overnight gambling cruise, Franki goes undercover with a motley crew, including a Mark Twainophile captain with a murderous past, a slimy galley chef with a mobster brother, and not to mention an ex-stripper landlady with a newfound career as a memoir writer and all-too public speaker.
Franki has to figure out what missing Civil War gold, a playing card, and a mysterious woman on roller skates have to do with Nick’s death. If she doesn’t, it’s anchors aweigh for Franki - down to Davy Jones’ locker.
"Traci Andrighetti's Franki Amato Mysteries have me tickled pink! Her smart, sassy heroine, wacky cast of characters, and vividly original settings had me glued to the page. I can’t wait to read more from this author!" (Gemma Halliday, The New York Times best-selling author)
"Traci's writing is sharp and funny; the world she paints leaps off the page and makes the reader laugh out loud. A thoroughly enjoyable voice in fiction!" (Kristin Harmel, internationally best-selling novelist and author of The Sweetness of Forgetting)

Everything glittery isn't gold but this book is
I think this is my favourite book in this series, but then again I remember writing that about the last book as well. Let's just say the series gets better and better. It is such a fun series and in my opinion you shouldn't miss out on any of these books. The characters are so bright and colourful (even nonna who is in morning and always dresses in black or grey) that it is so easy to picture the story as it unfolds. I love the family and all the traditions that bring havoc to Franki's life, very funny. Just imagine little old Italian ladies working with an ex stripper who as an aversion to clothes and you get the picture.
Franki's Nonna's very close friends Luigi (is there finally wedding bells in Franl's mum future) nephew is missing and rather than have the Nonnas come looking for him Franki agrees to investigate. However this doesn't work when Franki finds his body on a haunted steam boat, the Nonnas descend on Franki and her unsuspecting landlord ex stripper Glender and take over. Things get worse for Franki when Luigi is kidnapped in front of her and it is a race against time to find him before the mob put an end to a family feud. Franki and a surprising team of misfits must go under cover on the steam boat and fight ghosts , mob guys, grumpy chiefs and cops with grudges all before the boat leaves the dock. Oh and not to mention Franki only has a couple of days to get a proposal or the lemon tradition will be broken and she will bring shame to her family, something her Nonna will not stand for, as she hires Franki's co workers to find out why she doesn't have a ring yet. but with Bradley being arrested it looks like she might be looking for a new boyfriend and not a wedding dress.
I like the narrator and think she does an excellent job with all the voices and definitely adds a little something to the story. She also sounds like she had fun reading the book as evidented by the bloopers at the end of the story.
