Swamp Sniper by Jana DeLeon

"This is the third in the Miss Fortune series and you do not need to have read the other two to enjoy this book but I would start at the beginning. Fortune, a C I A assassin is hiding out in Sinful, Louisiana. Her last mission went wrong so she needs a place to hide till the price on her head can be dealt with. Her cover is that of a librarian who has come to town to close up her dead aunts estate but Fortunes not in town twenty four hours before being introduced to the Sinful Ladies Society in the form of Gertie and Ida Belle two elderly (but do not say that in front of them) southern single ladies who were good friends of Fortunes "aunt". Murder and mystery ensues with the Sinful Ladies determined to find the killer themselves. Not that they do not find the sheriffs deputy Carter capable of solving the crime but as the murderer seems determined to frame Ida Belle she needs all the help she can get and the Sinful Ladies have their own way of doing things. Even if sometimes things do not go exactly to plan. An excellent series, full of humour with characters who don't take themselves too seriously i find Gertie hilarious and wish I could meet a woman like her in real life, what a joy. I can't believe I have missed such an excellent series till it was ten books in. Oh well what great fun I'm having catching up with all the fun."

코지 장르의 작품이다. 지금까지 읽은 'Fortune 시리즈'중 가장 웃기는 작품인 거 같다. 부분적으로 어려운 표현들도 있지만 전체적으로 진도가 잘 나가는 작품이다. 액션장면들, 독자들을 계속 웃게 만드는 인물들의 놀라운 행동과 대화들, 막판에 가야 알 수 있는 사건의 전모 등 재밌는 작품이었다. 이전 시리즈를 읽지 않아도 이 작품을 이해하는데 큰 문제는 없다. 초반이 좀 어렵게 느껴져도 계속 읽어볼 것을 추천한다. 반복적인 용어나 표현이 많기 때문에 후반으로 갈수록 읽는 것이 편할 수 있다.
