Publisher Description
Lucky O'Toole, head of Customer Relations at premier megaresort the Babylon, thinks it's just another night in Las Vegas. A tractor-trailer has spilled its load of a million honeybees, blocking not only the Strip but the entrance to her hotel...
The district attorney for Clark County - apparently the odd man out of a threesome on the twelfth floor - is hiding in the buff in one of the hotel's laundry rooms...
And Numbers Neidermeyer - one of Vegas's less-than-savory oddsmakers - is throwing some major attitude at Las Vegas's ace private investigator, the beautiful Jeremy Whitlock.
The next day, Lucky discovers Ms. Neidermeyer has been tossed into the shark tank at the Mandalay Bay Resort as a snack for the tiger shark. When the police show up at the Babylon with a hastily prepared search warrant, applied for by the district attorney himself, and Jeremy lands in the hot seat, Lucky realizes her previous night was far from routine.
Amid the chaos of fight weekend, the Babylon's hiring of an eccentric new French chef, and her madam mother's scheme to auction off a young woman's virginity, Lucky is drawn into a deadly game where no one is what they seem, a game that will end only when she discovers who made fish food out of Numbers Neidermeyer.

"I find that I am enjoying this series and the characters very much. Although some of the situations are a bit over the top, I find the fast pace enjoyable to read. The main character, Lucky, is a hoot. she is a mix of tough and tender and vulnerable. The setting of a hotel in Las Vegas is fun to read about, especially if you have been there and know some of the "spots" mentioned. Looking forward to a few more in the series. The plots thicken at each turn."

Lucky Stiff (Unabridged) Listener Reviews

" I love this series. Vegas is the perfect back drop for all kinds of absurdity. The "mystery" of the book is inconsequential, read it for the ride. "

" Thanks First Reads for this free book to read. Good mystery book. Very enjoyable. Thanks. "
— Renher, 1/7/2014 -
" The second book in the series was as good as the first. These mysteries, set in Las Vegas, are very fun. Lucky O'Toole, head of customer service for a large casino, has problems that only someone in Las Vegas would face, like the nude preacher in the staircase, the girl who is auctioning her virginity, and more. Good times! "

" Would bump this one up to 3.5 if I could. It is a fun light (not cozy) mystery. Makes me want to book a trip to Vegas though! "
— Lynn, 12/5/2013 -
" I liked the first in the series better. Lucky, the heroine worries about losing the love of her life to the music business while solving a murder mystery. outrageous characters but funny. great descriptions of Las Vegas makes me miss where I spent 6 years. I know those neighborhoods! "

" Loved it. Original and endearing characters.Lucky is a strong yet feminine protagonist caught up in a beliveable but twisted plot amid the extrodinary weirdness that is Vegas. "

" You always wonder if the 2nd book in a series can hold up to close inspection. Well I have to say out loud. Lucky Stiff is funnier and more entertaining then the first. I'm looking forward to some fall down to the floor laughing entertainment in book 3. "

" Really enjoying this series on audio. It's a bit like the Stephanie Plum books where the mystery is somewhat secondary but you're really reading for the characters and setting. "
— Lindsay, 9/1/2012 -

" I loved this book! It was a fun read with a lot of great characters and plot development. There are a few story lines going on, which is great because everything about this book holds your attention. After reading this book, I will be on the look out for more from Deborah Coonts! "
— Suzanne, 12/21/2011 -
" I think it was the somewhat slow beginning, but I didn't fall in love with this book as much as I did with the first in the series. However, once I got past the first 11%, the story started to pick up and return to the humor and characters and pace I loved so much in the first Lucky book. "

" Mildly interesting. It took me 3 weeks to get through this book. Totally predictable. "

" I really liked this book. The characters were funny and engaging and it was an enjoyable story to read. This is the second book in the series and I enjoyed it as much, if not a little more, than the first book, "Wanna Get Lucky?" I look forward to reading the next book when it becomes availabile. "
