Book 6 of 9: Franki Amato Mysteries

An ax murder leaves Franki less than jazzed...

Jazz Fest is in full swing in The Big Easy, but PI Franki Amato is singing the blues. The owner of an historic Italian grocery and deli is murdered in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Axeman of New Orleans, a notorious serial killer who hasn’t struck in over a century, and someone Franki knows has been arrested for the crime. Adding to her distress, Franki, her mom, and her meddling Sicilian nonna finally meet her fiancé’s family, but the tone of their encounter is decidedly downbeat. And just as her personal life strikes a sour note, the killer jazzes up his techniques. The pressure is on Franki to decipher an odd assortment of clues—an old gramophone record, a stolen trumpet, and a bottle of marsala wine. If she doesn’t, she could be the next one to get the ax.

Marsala Maroon is book 6 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!

Funny and Pretty Good

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2023

I love these stories, but this one had me lost because there were sooooo many characters, I couldn't keep track. I didn't care much for the murder, as much as what was happening in Frankie's life. I hate how she seems to put Bradley on the back burner despite him giving up so much for her. But I guess the romance is secondary to the murder. Other than that, an enjoyable story.

I like reading about new cultures, traditions, and most especially NOLA, someplace I’ve always wanted to visit but most especially Franki because she is not perfect...she’s funny, sweet, snarky just like our real life besties.
