Evanovich...with a dash of CSI. - Publishers Weekly (review of Lucky Stiff)
Lucky's story comes full circle in the conclusion of the Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventures.
Home: A refuge. An escape. Where the heart is.
After a high-body count trip through Europe, Lucky O'Toole, the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas's most over the top Strip casino, is home and searching for peace, quiet and a quick fix for a broken heart.
She should know better.
Her father is failing in his fight to regain his health after taking a bullet to the chest.
Her mother, Mona, is increasingly desperate to be useful which usually results in her being anything but.
Her love life is in shambles.
The DEA is after her, but not giving a hint as to why.
The NBA is in town for their All-Star break extravaganza highlighting the new rookies.
Somebody got cute and put a Bugatti on top of her hotel.
And a dead guy turns up in delivery bay seven with his skull bashed in.
Not exactly the soft reentry Lucky had hoped for. But she can handle it.
Until her father, after checking himself out of the hospital, summons Lucky for a family meeting. A secret from his past puts the future of the Babylon and the family in jeopardy.
And he expects Lucky to fix it.
Worse, a financier who played cat-and-mouse with Lucky around the globe, striving to leave her holding the bag, could hold the key to her saving it all.
Can she trust him?
Does she have a choice?

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.
