Loved reading this book from beginning to end. As the summary states, a hurricane comes upon Sinful, however, because we are not reading about any small town, but about Sinful :), it not only leaves destruction in its path, it leaves lots of money behind. But as Fortune soon finds out, it's not only counterfeit money, it also traces back to Ahmad, the dangerous man that is after her. From there on, it's like reading two small mysteries that intertwine into the big finale, and what an ending it was. This book had quite a few surprising twists and turns, and of course, as always, the hilarious moments throughout the book that only Fortune, Gertie, and Ida Belle can be found in.
Even though, the way Carter and Fortune handled the revelation of her true identity at the end was an unexpected twist in itself, I thought it was quite an interesting turn in the Fortune mystery series. Since the beginning of the series, the way Fortune was portrayed as a young woman that does not wait to be saved, but does the saving herself, I kind of had a feeling it wasn't going to be that easy (or realistic, really) for Fortune to leave behind, just like that, without looking back, her career (Honestly, I don't think it would have really been a happy ending for Fortune if that had occurred at this time). During the progression of the story, she gave a few hints, as she stated a few times that she came to realize that she loved her job, because she knew in the end she was leaving a small dent of goodness behind. I can't wait to read the next book. Probably, Fortune and Carter will both reach a compromise that will make them both happy, or Carter will come to realize Fortune is just not made for "regular life", and he will have to accept her as she is. :)
5 out of 5. :)
