From Amazon:
No one in Sinful liked Pansy Arceneaux, but who hated her enough to kill her?
When aspiring actress Pansy Arceneaux returns to Sinful, Louisiana to head up the beauty pageant portion of the Summer Festival, CIA assassin Fortune Redding knows she’s in for trouble. Her undercover identity as a former beauty queen makes Fortune the perfect choice to chair the event with Pansy, but Pansy’s abrasive personality makes it impossible to get through a single rehearsal without a fight.
When Pansy turns up dead, Fortune is the prime suspect. Armed with only her wits and two conniving seniors referred to locally as The Geritol Mafia, Fortune launches an investigation to find the real killer before her cover is blown.

This book was just as much fun as the first one. Fortune's character continues to really branch out, and you can see she's got a happily-ever-after in the form of a complete lifestyle change by the end of the series. The minor characters in this series are a lot of fun too, like Walter, the man who owns the general store. He's a guy I'd spend time with. Carter continues in his sexy cop-ness, and Gertie and Ida Belle are just as fun too. There's some slap-stick humor here and there, and an annoying person is killed, which is always a bonus.
Some aspects of this series are a little far-fetched, like 2 murder investigations in 2 weeks in a town of 200 people, but sometimes suspending disbelief is okay if you want to have a good time, and a good time was definitely had reading this book. On to book 3!
