Campari Crimson: A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery (Franki Amato Mysteries, Book 4)

By: Traci Andrighetti

Narrated by: Madeline Mrozek

From USA TODAY best-selling author Traci Andrighetti...

Halloween is looming large in New Orleans, and Private Investigator Franki Amato is in a gloomy mood. Her boyfriend, Bradley, has to leave on an extended business trip, and her slacker brother is coming to town with her matchmaker Nonna, who’s determined to see a Sicilian lemon superstition bear fruit. Meanwhile, the entire city is spooked because a caped figure is targeting its blood banks.

Things turn macabre when a psychic makes a dark prediction about Franki’s brother and a frat boy is found in a cemetery crypt with his blood drained. As bad luck would have it, Franki is hired to investigate the murder by the number one police suspect, an 18th-century vampire impersonator. A detective acquaintance offers to team up to find the killer, but he’s interested in more than Franki’s professional input. To solve the case, she goes solo into NOLA’s vampire community and immerses herself in local vampire legends. Can Franki prevent another bloodletting? Or will the next blood spilled be her own?

Critic reviews

"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, 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 new voice in fiction!" (Kristin Harmel, internationally best-selling novelist, author of The Sweetness of Forgetting)

Great Listen

WOW! My fourth read, and first full-length read, from entertaining author Traci Andrighetti. As good as the shorts were this one was outstanding! Characters so well-developed that by this time you feel like you know them and are invested in them. Narrator Madeline Mrozek adds greatly to the listening enjoyment. I'd previously read this book on my Kindle and the Audible version was very much worth the re-read because of her. I was given an Audible edition of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I need to get more books in this series by this outstanding author.

Campari Crimson

Franki is not ready to chase REAL Vampires

Franki Amato is living her life as a PI in New Orleans. Things are going well. Her and her partner are solving cases. She has a wonderful boyfriend...that her family wants her to get a proposal from. She doesn't expect the next cases to be based around Vampires. Traci begins investigating murders based at blood banks around NOLA. All the evidence keeps leading to possible vampires and their history in the city. While the case has her unnerved, her Grandmother and brother move in to her small apartment. Her brother is supposed to be creating a life in NOLA too, but he conveniently seems to just be enabled by Nonna. Nonna is intent on getting Franki engaged, so she resorts to Italian traditions. As always, Traci Andrighetti creates a keep you guessing mystery with lots of laughs. Since she is living with Franki, we get to see more of Nonna than the occasional phone call. She is such a great character. I really can't wait to see where Franki's next adventure takes her. Love the narrator! Easy to understand change of person. Intonation perfect based on situation.

Frankie is cranky.

Wonderful romp through the NOLA vampire scene. Like this story best, so far. One more to go.
