A young woman plunges from a Las Vegas sightseeing helicopter, landing in the Pirate’s Lagoon in front of the Treasure Island Hotel in the middle of the 8:30 Pirate Show. Almost everyone writes her off as another Vegas victim. But Lucky O’Toole smells a rat. She’s head of customer relations at the Babylon, the newest, most opulent megacasino and resort on the Strip, so she’s got a lot on her plate: the adult film industry’s annual awards banquet, a spouse-swapping convention, sex-toy purveyors preying on the pocket-protector crowd attending ElectroniCon. . . . Still, Lucky can’t resist turning over a few stones. When a former flame is one of the snakes she uncovers, Lucky’s certain she’s no longer dealing with an anonymous Sin City suicide. To top it all off, Lucky’s best friend, Teddie — Las Vegas’s finest female impersonator — presses to take their relationship to the next level. Leave it to Lucky to attract a man who looks better in a dress than she does. Lucky must manage the Babylon’s onslaught of outrageous festivities, solve a murder, and struggle to keep her life and libido from spinning out of control . . . not to mention keep her balance in six-inch heels.

"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. I immediately read the second book in the series and loved it, too. " — Alice (4 out of 5 stars)
"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. I immediately read the second book in the series and loved it, too. "
“Paints a dead-on portrait of Las Vegas that is somehow dark, outrageous, and hilarious at the same time. Lucky O’Toole is wise, witty, and brimming with cheery cynicism. Wanna Get Lucky? goes down faster than an ice-cold Bombay martini—very dry, of course, and with a twist.”
“This enjoyable Vegas romp is filled with amusing scenes, colorful characters, and a smart, sarcastic narrator…The author has a knack for writing unpredictable, strong female characters and a deft hand with the romantic elements.”
" I loved this book !! It was a mix of a who done it murder mystery and a sweet romanance all rolled into one. Loved the character of Lucky..... LOVED the ending. "
" really liked it!!! good easy basically mindless read but fun! "
" Deborah Coonts spoke at my writers group tonight and if her book is anywhere near as funny and insightful as she was, I have a feeling I am really going to like it. "
" Loved the characters, light mystery, kept hearing Elvis' "Satisfaction" in my head... "
" I won this book on first reads and was so excited to get it in the mail. This book was funny, suspensful and full of suprise. I highly recommend this book...I loved it! "
" Pretty funny in a Janet Evanovich kind of way "
" I just love this series. It is a lighthearted mystery series that has engaging characters. "
" Just a really fun read. "
" I think this is a great start to a new series. Interesting characters and a VERY interesting setting in Vegas. "
" A light romp through Vegas. I enjoyed the lead character and setting but there was too much implausibilty. The writing was stiff in parts and the humor varied from good to strained. I suspect that this is the beginning of a series but I probably won't read any more of them. "
" This book didn't hold my interest "
" Could not finish it. This is an author I will not attempt to read again. "
" similar style to Janet Evanovich - easy plane read "
" Read the review on Nocturne Reads "
" Set in Las Vegas, the book has a likable funny female protagonist and filled with quirky characters. If you like Janet Evanovich you should try this series. "
" Enjoying so far...fun read. Light romantic suspense - a little sexy, but it is Vegas! "
" Not the best mystery, but interesting because it was set in a casino in Las Vegas. I have never beem there so it was interesting to see the culture of a casino. "
" More like 2 and a 1/2 stars but still this was a very disappointing book for me in a lot of ways. Click here to read my review. "
" This was an extremely entreating book. The characters Deborah included could easily be pictured. The book had several laugh out loud moments. "
" This book was a great read - light and funny. It reminded me of the Stephanie Plum series (the early ones). The fact that it is set in Vegas just allows for more believable absurdity. Can't wait until the next one comes out. "
" More of a romance novel than a thriller. Good enough as a romance novel, though I'm no expert at those things. Gives an entertaining view of Vegas - just ridiculous enough without being too absurd. "
" Fun contemporary set in Vegas. Will definitely buy the sequel. "
" I really liked the characters in this book. Funny, strong, smart. Decent plot. This got the Las Vegas vibe down really well. I know, I lived there for 6 years. "
" First in a series about a woman working in a Las Vegas casino...she's the "fixer". Very entertaining. "
