Braulio Brown (Thanksgiving novella)
Sambuca Scarlet (book 10, preorder now!)Franki finds nothing sweet about this sugar plantation mystery...
For PI Franki Amato, New Orleans is anything but The Big Easy. Her best friend and employer has assigned her an unsettling investigation-the murder of a gorgeous cosmetics CEO at an allegedly haunted plantation. Adding to Franki's stress, her meddling Sicilian nonna is planning her engagement even though her boyfriend, Bradley, hasn't popped the question, and his new secretary seems determined to ensure a proposal never happens. As Bradley grows distant and the plantation grows dangerous, Franki turns to a psychic who is deathly afraid of ghosts. But her relationship is the least of her worries. She has to figure out what pink lip gloss, pirates, and a legendary diamond have to do with the bizarre homicide before she, too, drops dead like a Southern belle during a sweltering summer.
Prosecco Pink is book 2 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. Cheers!
BONUS SHORT MYSTERY (hardcover edition only):

With Christmas around the corner, Franki Amato's got visions of her sugarplum, Bradley Hartmann, dancing in her head. Now that she finally has some time off from her PI job, she's cooking him up a special holiday treat, and it's not figgy pudding. Her Yuletide plans are dashed, however, when her meddlesome Sicilian grandma goes missing and she has to hurry home to Houston to investigate. All the evidence points to foul play, but then there's a bizarre break in the case-one that makes her wonder whether her notorious nonna has been naughty or nice.
