Galliano Gold: A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery (Franki Amato Mysteries, Book 5)

By: Traci Andrighetti

Narrated by: Madeline Mrozek

It’s Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, but PI Franki Amato has too many problems to celebrate. A proven Sicilian lemon tradition hasn’t landed her a proposal, so her nonna has amped up the meddling to get her married, and pronto.

Franki’s also under pressure to solve the strange murder of a family friend’s nephew, Nick Pescatore, who was found on a Mississippi River steamboat rumored to be haunted. When the sinister old boat sets sail on an overnight gambling cruise, Franki goes undercover with a motley crew, including a Mark Twainophile captain with a murderous past, a slimy galley chef with a mobster brother, and not to mention an ex-stripper landlady with a newfound career as a memoir writer and all-too public speaker.

Franki has to figure out what missing Civil War gold, a playing card, and a mysterious woman on roller skates have to do with Nick’s death. If she doesn’t, it’s anchors aweigh for Franki - down to Davy Jones’ locker.

"Traci Andrighetti's Franki Amato Mysteries have me tickled pink! Her smart, sassy heroine, wacky cast of characters, and vividly original settings had me glued to the page. I can’t wait to read more from this author!" (Gemma Halliday, The New York Times best-selling author)

"Traci's writing is sharp and funny; the world she paints leaps off the page and makes the reader laugh out loud. A thoroughly enjoyable voice in fiction!" (Kristin Harmel, internationally best-selling novelist and author of The Sweetness of Forgetting)

And another hit!

Love this series!! Can’t wait for book 6 hopefully it will be coming out soon !

Never lets you down

This is another fun time with Frankie and the team. Funny, suspenseful and well narrated as always.

Frankie is funny!

Frankie does a lot of crazy things as a PI but she is stubborn, loyal, and pretty clever. She certainly never gives up. What makes the series great though is the cast of characters she has to put up with. Her family. Her stripper landlady. Her colleagues. Everyone in New Orleans. The stories have depth too.

Great listen

Madeline Mrozek does a great job reading these stories. The characters are differentiated; she conveys interest and emotion. As an avid audiobook listener, top marks for her narration,

The story is a fun frolic. You’ll enjoy time in the French Quarter and really crave the food!

Another good Franki Amato Mystery

I really enjoyed the book, more happening in this book for Franki, I won't give any spoiler alerts, but I'm looking forward to Franki & Bradley's next adventure.

Another Great Book!!

an interesting and funny cozy mystery

I enjoyed this audio book and now I will have to start the series from the beginning.
The narrator Madeline Mrozek does a great job with the different characters.
I received a free copy with a request for an honest review of what turned out to be an interesting and funny cozy mystery.

Great Read!

Franki amato is a great Sleuth. The book had a few turns and lots of interesting (crazy)people! It was imaginative, funny and scary at times! The mafia added a little different twist along the way! You just have to read it to figure everything out! I loved this book but felt there were a few too many people to keep track of!

Galliano Gold's got the goods!

Great story! Awesome, memorable characters! Narrator is spot on! Lots of laugh out loud moments!

Cranky Franki

I love this series and the wide variety of kooky characters. This one was the hardest to get through mostly because Franki was so terribly grumpy the whole time. Like over the top crankiness. She avoided Shondra, and badmouthed her even though the psychic helped her on some other cases and was nice to her. She spent so much time complaining and whining that I actually said "grow up" out loud while listening.

Overall, I still liked this book. As usual, it kept me guessing and giggling throughout. A very fun series! Great narration brings the characters to life.
