Prosecco Pink

Publisher's Summary

For Franki Amato, life in New Orleans is anything but "The Big Easy". When she met handsome bank executive Bradley Hartmann, she knew she'd finally found a man she could trust. But she can't say the same for his sexy new secretary, who is about as trustworthy as Mata Hari and every bit as seductive. Meanwhile, Franki's best friend and employer, Veronica Maggio, has named her the lead investigator in the murder of a gorgeous cosmetics CEO who was found lying dead in the master bedroom of a historic plantation home.

Now the pressure is on Franki to figure out what a bottle of pink lip gloss and the legend of a pink diamond have to do with the bizarre killing. The problem is that the plantation is notorious for being haunted, and Franki is less than enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting a ghost. Adding to her stress, her Sicilian grandma is up to her usual meddling antics - this time planning Franki's engagement to Bradley before he's even considered popping the question. As Bradley grows distant and plantation employees begin dropping like Southern belles during a sweltering summer, Franki turns to a psychic with a phobia of ghosts to solve the mysterious murders and her own relationship fears.

Loved this book

What does Madeline Mrozek bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love listening to Ms. Mrozek so anytime I see a book with her as the narrator its pretty much a guarantee I'm going to want to listen to the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was upsetting to think Bradley was cheating on Frankie. Loved the whole concept of the story and a psychic being afraid of ghosts, lol.

Great Series!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the second book in the Franki Amato series written by Traci Andrighetti and narrated by Madeline Mrozek. Frankie is a private investigator in New Orleans, and her boss Veronica, is her best friend. She has been dating sexy Bradley but doesn’t trust his sexy, sneaky new secretary. Franki and Veronica are hired to investigate the murder of a cosmetics CEO. Franki also starts investigating her boyfriend’s new secretary to prove to Bradley that she can’t be trusted. Franki also has to deal with her matchmaker and interfering grandmother. This book has it all, romance, mystery, suspense, humor, and a ghost. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.

The narrator Madeline Mrozek did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

I love Frankie's sass!

Frankie has a meddling family, and they are so humorous! They bring the book some much needed comedy. Frankie herself is really sassy and funny, and I love her personality which is perfectly narrated by Madeline. She finds a way to always get herself into trouble, and then awkwardly tries to get herself out of it. But she's witty and charming, and this series is one of my favs! I was provided this book as a gift and gave my honest review.

Love the over the top characters and duel plot

Would you listen to Prosecco Pink again? Why?

I loved this Frankie Amato audio book. The story is funny, the characters are over the top, and the mystery keeps you guessing till the very end. I love mysteries that have duel plots and this one does not disappoint. Although I was gifted this copy in exchange for my honest review, I am buying the first one in the series because I liked it so much. If you are a fan of Janet Evanovich you will really enjoy reading this series by Traci Andrighetti.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The book really kept you guessing till the very end. Even when I thought I had it figured out I was wrong.

What does Madeline Mrozek bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The characters are over the top and their personalities really came to life through the reading of Madeline Mrozek

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh out loud in several places.

Great pink mystery

Pink dress, a house haunted by a pirate's wife and victims dropping like flies - what more can you want? Well, Franki's boyfriend has a stunning new assistant. Ouuuu! See the problem with hot blooded Italian Franki?

I've read the first Franki Amato novel and this one is even better. Our Franki is still full of insecurities women know so well - but she's growing out of them and she gets me with her detective skills. I'm starting to cheer for her.

The mystery in Prosecco pink is even better than the one in Limoncello yellow, swirling around a dead young woman with a lip gloss in her hand. Traci kept me on the edge of my seat, I didn't have a clue who the killer was.

Madeline Mrozek is perfect here again. Her narration gives the book so much life and depth. I'll listen to her again for sure!



My heartfelt thanks to the author, narrator, or publisher for providing me this audiobook via Audiobook Boom at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review.

Prosecco Pink

Prosecco Pink is the second book in the Frankie Amato series but it works fine as a standalone.

Business is doing great at Private Chicks Detective Agency and Frankie has been assigned her own case. She has been hired to investigate a mysterious death at a nearby plantation, and so begins a series of mysterious and weird goings on.

I'm a sucker for a cozy mystery and absolutely loved this, it had everything I want from one. The humour is an important part for me and it had some great humourous bits in it, with strong characters who really come alive. I'll definitely be going back to the beginning of the series and starting from there. Easy listening with some mystery! Loved it!! 5* from me!

Good!

What did you like most about Prosecco Pink?

I loved the humour and the adventure. Franki gets into one scrape after another.
I didn't really like how man obsessed she was and I felt that she should have dumped the boyfriend at the end of the story and make him spend the next two books in the series grovelling for forgiveness!
