If you like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books, you will probably like this one too.  Personally, I didn’t like how similar this book was with Evanovich’s series. There were so many parallels that I almost forgot which book I was reading.  

Tiffany Black, a novice Private Investigator, gets her first case from a high school acquaintance, Sophia, who believes she has been framed for the murder of her husband, Ethan. Tiffany works this case while simultaneously working her steady job as a Blackjack dealer in Las Vegas. Tiffany realizes quickly this case might be over her head, and wants to quit when her life is threatened.  Sophia begs her to stay on, and hires a bodyguard for Tiffany.  Jonathan Stone, the bodyguard, reminds me of Stephanie Plum’s Ranger: he’s a man of few words; owns a security business; and seems attracted to the main character.

After several run-ins with someone who is out to stop Tiffany from solving the case she seeks refuge in a neighbor’s apartment. She, like Stephanie Plum, live in an apartment building filled with many older residents. Tiffany immediately likes the older man who feeds her sweets, and longs to set him up with her crazy grandmother, who lives with Tiffany’s parents (just like Stephanie’s).

In the end, no spoilers, Tiffany impresses everyone with her investigating skills, and makes a name for herself.  

To read Tiffany’s next adventures you can download or purchase A. R. Winter’s next book in the series, Green Eyes in Las Vegas.
