Miss Fortune and Miss Match by Sara Mills are delightful P.I books with a twist. Allie Fortune refuses to be called Miss Fortune; instead she is known around NYC in 1947 as the PI Princess. Likely the only female private investigator in the city she has a penchant for finding cases that involve intrigue and suspense.

This series is frankly one I wish I had conceived and written. I love the tone of the books – if you like black and white movies like The Maltese Falcon or Casablanca, you have an idea of the flavor.

In Miss Fortune, not only does the reader get to explore a great mystery involving ancient Greek gold, East German and Russian spies, and the FBI, but there are flashes to a story of lost love. In Miss Match, Allie finds a way to take her FBI agent to a Berlin that’s ready to fall to the Germans to help him find someone who desperately needs his help.

One warning, if you have to read a series in quick succession because you hate not knowing out it ends, don’t read book two yet. Miss Fortune is a delightful read on its own. However, Miss Match ends quite abruptly and left me emailing the author to know when book three releases. I may have to beg for a copy of the manuscript because I have to know what happens!
