Tuaca Tan

Parading for Mardi Gras is no party...When PI Franki Amato was invited to watch her sixty-something landlady, Glenda, compete at the French Quarter's annual kickoff to Mardi Gras weekend, she had reservations. After all, the event is called the Greasing of the Poles, and Glenda is an ex-stripper. But she never expected the fun event to turn her world upside down-and, literally, the victim's. Now instead of hunting for a wedding venue with her honey, Franki's hunting for a killer. The trail seems to lead to the wealthy board of the Krewe of Clotho, a carnival organization of women whose character is nowhere near as impeccable as their blonde hair, tan outfits, and old New Orleans ancestry. As members begin to drop like beads from Bourbon Street balconies, Franki has to crack clues as murky as the krewe's signature milk punch brunch drink. Otherwise, this parade could be her last.Tuaca Tan is book 8 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you'll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti.
