Publisher's summary

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Hilarious Series

Nocino Noir is the 9th installment in the Franki Amato mysteries.
Once again, Franki has to balance work as a PI with managing her wacky family! Throw in a curse, a swamp Sasquatch , a mysterious film noir coffee shop, her impending wedding, and murder and it’s a recipe for a laugh a minute ride!
The narration of this series really takes the great story to another level!
The voice used for each character creates a vivid picture of the New Orleans setting and the crazy individuals in Franki’s life. I never tire of hearing what Glenda is going to wear next. I can’t wait for the next book. I recently listened to the books again from the start to catch up before this release and it was even better the second time through.
Do yourself a favor and listen to this series!
