Description
“Evanovich…with a dash of CSI.” – Publishers Weekly (review of Lucky Stiff) Even a Blind Dog Finds a Bone For Lucky O’Toole, she finds killers. As the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas’s most over-the-top destination, murder is a bit outside of her normal. But, armed with a wicked wit and an even more wicked right-cross, Lucky takes it all in stride. But tonight taxes even Lucky’s formidable skills. LUCKY CATCH Lucky’s former lover, Teddie, shows up, hat in hand. A gaggle of egomaniacal chefs appear for a televised cook-off. And Lucky’s current lover, Jean-Charles, stops answering his phone. Since trouble comes in threes, Lucky is sure this is the extent of tonight’s trouble. As usual, she’s a tad optimistic. A prized Alba truffle disappears from Jean-Charles’s restaurant. A young chef is murdered in Jean-Charles’s food truck. Jean-Charles still isn’t answering his phone. And when Lucky’s path crosses the killer’s will her goose be cooked? You want to know…I know you do. A light, funny, romantic mystery providing a Vegas escape appropriate for anyone looking for a good laugh. Get your copy today! AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS Why did you decide to write humor? I’m not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky’s own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I’ve found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good—or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother. And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her. The Lucky O’Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design? When I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky? , I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works. PRAISE FOR THE LUCKY O’TOOLE VEGAS ADVENTURE SERIES “Lucky’s story is funny, fast-paced, exuberant and brilliantly realized .” – Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Get ready to win big–with a novel that will keep you glued to the pages all the way to the end.” – Brenda Novak, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author “” More fun than a winning streak in Vegas . Lucky O’Toole is a character with brains, beauty, and a wry sense of humor. Readers will want to meet her again—and soon.”” – Diane Mott Davidson, New York Times bestselling author “”Deborah Coonts… entrusts the sleuthing to a brainy beauty who sees the lighter side of human folly. “” – New York Times Book Review “”Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this witty tale of misdirection and larger-than-life characters. Fans of J. A. Konrath’s Jack Daniels series will love this. “” – Library Journal, starred review —- ISBN: 9781944831868
