Book 144: Swamp Sniper

Swamp Sniper by Deleon is the third hilarious installment in the Miss Fortune mystery series.  After a near brush with death, Fortune tries to keep out of trouble by trying to assist Ida Belle with her run for mayor.  When Ida's competition turns up poisoned and the same poison is found in a bottle of "cough syrup" given to him by Ida, the trio resorts to their usual antics to insure that Ida Belle is cleared.  It doesn't take long to figure that the list of people with reason to kill Tom is quite lengthy.  The hard part will be narrowing the field down to the correct culprit before Deputy Carter is forced to arrest Ida.  5 stars.
