About this listen
Franki's coffee shop noir is a hard nut to crack!
It’s a slow, steamy summer in New Orleans’ French Quarter, but Franki Amato is busy planning her bridal shower—that is, until a hit-and-run outside a coffee shop gets her PI senses percolating. The victim is linked to crimes at a fancy society wedding in a haunted hotel where Franki’s fiancé’s family is staying. As for the java joint, it’s straight out of a hardboiled detective movie, and there’s something hinky about its walnut liqueur coffee.
Franki’s Sicilian nonna says the macabre events are proof the malocchio has been cast on her impending marriage, and to her utter surprise, her future grandmother-in-law also suspects the evil eye. To save her wedding and solve the case, Franki must investigate some shady places, from a witch shop and bridal swap to a shack in the swamp. She has to uncover the identities of a femme fatale and a jewel thief and unravel the meaning of a deadly delivery. If she doesn’t, this noir mystery could turn Grimm fairy tale
Nocino Noir is book 9 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be listened to as a standalone story. If you like zany characters and laugh-out-loud humor with a splash of suspense, then you’ll drink up this fun series by USA Today Bestselling Author Traci Andrighetti. Cheers!

Bodyguard Brian Marcentel knew Justine Chatry had a job to do, but so did he. He’d been hired to keep her safe—from whatever lurked behind the walls of a long-neglected mansion. And yet, the beautiful researcher insisted on helping him investigate every suspicious noise and following him through the murky bayou as he tracked down trespassers. All of that paled in comparison, though, to his greatest challenge: trying to resist her when the fear took over and she looked to him for protection.

A favorite series of mine!
I listened to this as an audiobook on audible. The author was kindly giving away some free book codes for her audiobooks to her readers on her email list.
The narrator for the series is fabulous!! She does the voices very well. It’s so fun listening to her. I am highly entertained and do a lot of laughing throughout the book. At the end of the audiobook there was a section of bloopers and they were very funny! I don’t know how you can narrate a funny book without laughing!
I am a big fan of the author from the very first book. I’m not sure how I came across these books, but I’m sure glad I did. They are well written with fun details about New Orleans and whatever the story is about. There is romance, PI business, quirky characters and hilarious Italian family dynamics!
We have slowly been getting close to Franki’s wedding and excited about her romance with Bradley. Of course her Nona and mother want to move things along! And everybody else wants to interfere with the wedding plans.
The mystery was fun and all the people Franki runs into as she is doing her detecting. I really should visit New Orleans!
It would be so fun if this series was turned into TV series or a movie. I truly love all the characters. I appreciate an author who can be so creative with a storyline and making characters so distinctive and real.

Wedding Shower Contretemps
I was very entertained by this story. I enjoyed the setting as the myths associated with New Orleans helped to suspend believe as far as curses, the evil eye, and supernatural occurrences. I liked the characters Franki Amato, her family, and her soon-to-be relations. I enjoyed the zany characters which populated this tale. There were many humorous incidents, dialogue between characters, and Franki's internal monologues which caused me to laugh out loud. I am looking forward to more stories in this series. I thought Madeline Mrozek was an amazing narrator, and I enjoyed her performance immensely. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.

A Full Cast of Narrators?
The audiobook Nocino Noir: A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery by Traci Andrighetti, narrated by Madeline Mrozek, is Book 9 in the Franki Amato Mysteries series, and it is absolutely amazing! Everything from the hilarious characters we all know and love to a storyline that just doesn’t quit, readers and listeners alike are sure to stay engaged from start to finish. Andrighetti really outdid herself with this one!
Now, let’s talk about the narration…you know how when you listen to an audiobook and you’re so into it that you don’t even notice someone is actually narrating because the story just comes to life before your very eyes? Well, that’s how I felt listening to Madeline Mrozek in Nocino Noir, but, as more characters were introduced, I found myself wondering if I had it all wrong. Was this audiobook actually narrated by a full cast of narrators? How could all of these quirky characters - that sound so dramatically different - be played by just one woman? Well, they are ALL played by Mrozek, and there are even bloopers at the end to prove it (which I also loved!). Needless to say, I found myself paying extra close attention to the actual narration more than usual because, on the whole, it is an experience within itself!
As an educator, myself, I’m going to take it one step further and say that this performance by Madeline Mrozek is so impressive it should be used in theater and acting courses; or, maybe, Mrozek should be teaching them herself…not that I want her to stop being a narrator, of course, but her talent goes beyond the norm, and these are the types of skills that students would greatly benefit from. In addition to being funny, engaging, and unbelievably consistent in her delivery, Mrozek’s flow is seamless, and her style is spot-on. She is a true inspiration to aspiring actors and narrators everywhere. Bravo!!
I give Nocino Noir by Traci Andrighetti, narrated by Madeline Mrozek, a full 5/5 stars across the board. The characters will pull you in from page one, and the storyline will keep you guessing through to the end. Whether you’re looking for a clean mystery with hilarious characters or a book with top-notch narration, I wholeheartedly recommend this audiobook (and series) to you!
Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. Happy listening. :-)

I absolutely love this series! And it does not let you down! Poor Frankie puts up with so much. Her mother trying to pick out her wedding dress was so over the top! I have no clue how she does it! But in the end it always wraps up and works out!! Madeline Mrozek does an amazing job narrating this series. So much fun and many laughs!

Each book is even funnier than the last!
NOLA, laugh-riot, verbal-humor, situational-humor, stress-buster, snark-fest, sexagenarian-stripper, fiancé, relationships, relationship-issues, relatives, friends, friendship, families, family-dynamics, family-history, murder-investigation, murder, swamp, wedding-madness, bridal-shower, secrets, kidnapping*****
You'll laugh your sox off even if you haven't followed the series, but you'd be missing even more stress busting, laugh-out-loud fun!
Frankie Amato is really in the soup with the Sicilian Grannies this time! She's trying to plan her wedding, avoiding the Sicilian Grannies, trying to hide the wedding shower from them, continue her assignment as a PI, find out her fiancé's deep family secrets, and solve a murder.
I still don't know how Madelyn Mrozek can narrate these books without cracking up and guffawing during the recording!
I won this audiobook in a giveaway! Yea, me!

Good Book
I love this series however this one is not my favorite. I thought the story was a little more convoluted than usual and there were parts I had trouble understanding how they fit in the overall story. It was funny in places and I enjoyed that. The performance was outstanding as always and I will continue to listen to future Frankie Amata stories.

New Orleans Murder
Nocino Noir is A Private Investigator Comedy Mystery is book 9 in the Franki Amato Mysteries by Traci Andrighetti. I thought that the author did a good job of blending and murder mystery and Franki's upcoming wedding. As an Italian family, the mother of the bride and her Nonna are very controlling and Franki is trying to fly under the radar. I thought that the author did a great job of taping into the New Orleans voodoo and witchcraft that is very prevalent in the area. Madeline Mrozek brought the story to life with her performance. She is a wonderful narrator.

Another rollicking romp through NOLA with Franki!
As the body count grows, we learn about an exotic Italian liqueur that may be connected. But meanwhile, Franki's bridal shower and wedding plans are being hijacked. All the usual suspects are out in force, causing chaos and confusion and adding angst for Ms Amato. Author Traci Andrighetti adeptly captures her favorite city and its quirks in this ninth novel in the series. You can plunge right in on this one, but it is worth starting at the beginning (or going back there to flesh out the various characters after they hook you in). Delightfully narrated by Madeline Mrozek--how can she keep everyone straight?--her voicings are as delicious as the (expensive!) liqueur!

Great book and series!
While working as a PI, Franki Amato is planning her bridal shower in New Orleans. Good mystery, action, lots of quirky characters and family drama. The narration is wonderful and brings the characters and story to life.

Her humor always has attention to detail!
I love ALL THE CHARACTERS! Traci along with Madeline produce the most laugh out loud books! Traci adds the details and humor of every day life dilemmas! Then Madeline brings it all to life. I’m always sad when the end of the book nears. Being a polish Catholic who once lived in Louisiana, I find myself nodding my head yes on so much of the narrative! I love this series!
