About this listen

Deputy Dorie Berenger knew the day would go from bad to worse when she found a stoned alligator in the town drunk’s swimming pool. Then DEA agent Richard Starke shows up in Gator Bait, Louisiana, giving out orders and insults faster than you can cast a fishing line.

Dorie knows the residents of Gator Bait aren’t going to talk to a stranger, especially a Yankee, but she's stuck with Richard until he catches his bad guy. With no other alternative to restore peace to the small town, Dorie agrees to help Richard catch a criminal and in the process, uncovers decades of secrets that have been hiding deep in the Louisiana bayou.

Good book - not so good narrator

The narrator obviously thought she was mimicking a southern Louisiana accent. She sounded condensation get. It was a good book but it needed a different narrator. It was hard to get past her ridiculous accent.

Ayup this hear'un agood'un.

This tale started out as a more or less typical DeLeon story line small Southern town(DEEP SOUTH that is).
Complete with unique endearing characters similar to the Missfortune Series but not quite the same formula. Oh and a unique surprise twist at the end.
The only thing that I disliked were the explicit sex scenes, not many thank goodness.
Personally I don't need step by step instruction. Been there done that and I like to let my mind build my own scenes. Yeah a little heavy petting kissing etcetera. then its morning well you get the picture.
Enough of that rant the story and the narration are worth the purchase. So 4.25 stars.

Feelings

enjoyed…although slow..it was the effort to sound like someone from the Bayou. Knowing friends who are Cajun I don’t know any southerners who speak that slowly.

Not as good as Miss Fortune

I really enjoyed Miss Fortune series but this story lacked intrigue, not as fun to listen to😜

Didn’t like narrator

Overall the story and mystery were pretty good. I also enjoyed the setting. However, in my opinion, the explicit sex scenes are inappropriate for a cozy mystery. It makes the story sound like one of those cheesy harlequin romances. But what I disliked the most is the narrator. She uses a soft breathy voice for the main character. I don’t know anyone who talks like that all the time. I find it extremely annoying.

Good book

I enjoyed the book but kept thinking I had heard it before because of the similarities to the authors other works. So if you like her other work you'll like this...just don't be surprised if you feel deja Vu.
Unrelated, as someone from that part of the world I was tickled pink to hear towns and places I know referenced.

Wasn’t expecting soft porn

I love Jana Deleon’s Miss Fortune series and expected to enjoy this as much. What I wasn’t expecting was explicit sex scenes. The story could have been told just as well without them.
This book would have earned four stars if it hadn’t been for that. The story (sans sex) was good, exciting and full of Deleon’s quirky characters.

exciting mystery in a very small town

The plot was generally unpredictable and the characters were delightful. Dory was a different kind of heroine than usual.
