Getting Off on Frank Sinatra by Megan Edwards
5.0
I really enjoyed this book! It was a great thriller and mystery, while still staying more on the lighthearted side. It wasn't dark and ominous like most thrillers, which was a refreshing change! There's still murder, stalking, and multiple murder attempts! I read this book in one sitting and just couldn't put it down.
We follow aspiring journalist Copper Black, who needs a change of pace and when an unexpected house-sitting job at a notorious Las Vegas gangster house, she doesn't hesitate to take up the offer.
While she is researching a story about a prestigious private school, Copper accidentally discovers the dead body of the school’s beloved founder, Marilyn Weaver. Now she finds herself involved in a high-profile murder investigation while she's trying to help her brother, a priest who is trying to help construct a new homeless shelter, but is facing problems when bones are discovered in the build site (bringing in a Native American chief to investigate if the site is a holy burial ground).
With the murder investigation picking up, Copper must now evade the stalking from Marilyn's son and her troubled niece, all while Detective Booth is gunning for her.
This was a great mystery! So fun to have all of the Las Vegas references and how that incorporates into the title! Megan Edwards does an amazing job with the characters. You feel like you know Copper - I loved how sarcastic she was with everyone and her developed love for Oscar (the old man tortoise). Then the internal thoughts on her coworkers, family issues, and love life struggles were hilarious. Trying to fit the pieces together and how the characters intertwined. I hope there are more Copper Black books to come!
