The Summary
"A force to be reckoned with...

"During missions as a CIA assassin, Fortune Redding saw and overcame most every obstacle, but Sinful, Louisiana, keeps producing new challenges for her.  When a hurricane blows through, it brings a shower of counterfeit money raining down on the tiny bayou town.

"When the money is linked back to Ahmad, the arms dealer who issued the kill order on Fortune, everyone is worried that her nemesis is far too close for comfort.  When Ahmad's men turn up in Sinful, the situation becomes life-and-death for Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie, and Deputy Carter LeBlanc learns Fortune's new identity.

"As Swamp Team 3 rushes to locate the counterfeiter, Fortune hopes to take down Ahmad and free herself from her fake life.  But will her relationship with Carter make it now that he knows the truth?"

The Good
Same.  Absolute best thing was the fact that Fortune got the chance to be an agent again and kick some serious tail, which I really appreciated in this book.  Not much otherwise might have happened, but, at least, Fortune was finally given the chance to be a secret agent again.

The Bad
Same.  Literally, it's the same things all over again.

I'm kind of done with the Miss Fortune Mystery series.  I could use a long break from it.

The Ugly
I spent six books waiting for some kind of resolution, only to discover that there's not one here.  It's a short book, which is a plus, but it doesn't have much in it.  I mean, it's literally the same misadventures coupled with Fortune getting her cover blown to hell.  Instead of throwing me a bone and letting Fortune catch her man or, you know, at least, get to be herself again, I get nothing.  Just an escaped arms dealer and a break up.

Yes, I'm going to ruin the end, but, honestly, like we didn't expect things turn out this way.  I mean, there's another book for crying out loud!  Obviously, things weren't resolved.
