Publisher's summary

No smoke without a fire

It’s New Year’s in Sinful, and the competition for the New Year’s Queen is heating up as the warring churches go head-to-head. Fortune Redding is not the sequined dress kind of woman, but reluctantly agrees to partake in the debacle so that Ida Belle and Gertie can best their nemesis, Celia, who’s put up former Sinful mean girl RJ Rogers.

RJ and her friend Ricky Benoit left plenty of devastation in their wake when they fled Sinful after high school. So when they return and Ricky is found dead, there’s no shortage of suspects. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie know all too well what it’s like to live under suspicion of a crime with no resolution. When good people become the targets of gossip, they know they have to rush to unravel the tangled lives of RJ and Ricky and expose a killer before the wrong person’s reputation is ruined. Or worse—they’re arrested for a crime they didn’t commit.

Angel for a day .. more or less

Great story. I was hesitant at first .. one of the reviews was talking about the book being more woke .. and mentioned a cross-dresser. My thought .. after a bit was .. is that about Ronald? Well .. turns out .. yes. Nooo .. that doesn't make the book more 'woke' .. that is simply weird Ronald.

Like in the other books the story winds all over the place with intersecting plot lines crisscrossing. My only complaint .. and it isn't a major one is the same one I have had through all the books in that Carter seems to have no idea in the slightest about the 1st amendment as well as being really sketchy about the 4th and others. Call me crazy but I don't think that a Deputy should be able to run his town like a a tin pot dictator .. intentions be dammed. Not that uncommon in Louisiana perhaps where might often has made right. Like I said .. I accept the character without necessarily agreeing with some of his actions - they were fine for an NCO where rights are given up for mission.

We had Celia her usual poisonous self .. at one point I thought that Ida Bell might actually shoot her .. but alas .. that did not happen. Yet. I think serving her up to Godzilla instead of a casserole would be a great thing.

Finally .. the title of this review refers to one of the characters honoring Fortune with that a bit of that title. Fortune may well be an angel .. even if only for a day .. but I suspect it would be one carrying a sword to slay demons.
