Franki Amato Mysteries

Books 7, 8, and 9 in the USA Today bestselling Franki Amato Mysteries: Valpolicella Violet, Tuaca Tan, and Nocino NoirWhen 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 at a ghost-infested Christmas wedding in Venice, a risqué Mardi Gras event in the French Quarter, and a haunted hotel hosting a high-society nuptial bash. Her work puts her in contact with colorful local characters, like jewel thieves, witches, and suspicious society matrons, 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.

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!
