Getting Off on Frank Sinatra by Megan Edwards
3.0
Copper Black, a journalist, finds herself smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation when she accidentally uncovers the dead body of a prominent leader of an elite private school.
I didn’t necessarily find that this one had too much action or “oomph”. This one read like if Becky Bloomfield from the Shopaholic novels were to start solving mysteries. Copper finds herself wrapped up in this situation and there isn’t anything left for her to do but try and solve the case. There was lots of drama but, truly, not a whole heck of a lot happening.
I initially didn’t really like Copper but as I continued to read, she kind of grew on me. She is one of those anti-hero characters who continuously makes poor choices but you love them anyways and are rooting for them. She is the ultimate underdog.
I am not familiar with Las Vegas, so I didn’t particularly understand all the references, but I do feel like a Las Vegas native or someone who has travelled there would appreciate the setting of the story. Edwards does do a good job at portraying Sin City.
I did find that Edwards was able to weave an engaging story, just not what I was expecting.
If you prefer your mysteries light and humorous, then you may enjoy this one.
