- Traci is the author of the Franki Amato Mystery series. In her previous life, she was an award-winning literary translator and a Lecturer of Italian at the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned a PhD in Applied Linguistics. But then she got wise and ditched that academic stuff for a life of crime--writing, that is.
If she's not hard at work on her next novel, Traci is probably watching her favorite Italian soap opera, eating Tex Mex or sampling fruity cocktails, and maybe all at the same time. She lives in Austin with her husband, young son (who desperately wants to be in one of her books) and three treat-addicted dogs.

Another laugh riot! Perfect excuse to ignore the news media :)
The first victim dies checking out a pole dancing pole at the greasing of the poles and the investigation includes all family craziness and French Quarter craziness we've come to expect and anticipate in this hilarious series.
I love the way Madeline Mrozek brings the whole atmosphere as well as the characters' personalities into the work! Fantastic read!… (más)

This is NOT Commissario Brunetti's Venice!
All the friends and relatives from New Orleans are in Venitia, Italia for the wedding of Franki Amato's best friend/co-owner of the PI agency they run. What a mixed-up piece of work! There's a murder, a jewelry heist, the geriatric NOLA stripper having a book signing, Franki's mother and old school grandmother arriving early while Franki's own fiance arrives late, a fraudulent ghost of Tosca (among others) and a lot of side-splitting laughs. I LOVE this bunch of characters and the voices they are given by Madeline Mrozek who is absolutely perfect for this crowd!… (más)

All the family and friends madness is what has me laughing out loud! It's nice to have read most of the earlier books in series, but it isn't vital because so many hints and recollections keep the reader up to date. There really is a mystery plot, but also a family craziness and French Quarter craziness that kept me laughing and far away from the news media!

The book is filled with small cases juggled with their big case - solving the murder of a boutique manager so that their client doesn't get charged with the murder. Along with their investigations, Franki is also trying to appease her Italian grandmother in Austin by dating "good Italian boys" none of which she is even remotely interested in. But she has found a man who she is drawn to and the resulting interactions are hilarious.
The characters a re over the top, the setting is great, the mystery was a little light.… (más)
