    Part of a Complete Series

    "Evanovich…with a dash of CSI." – Publishers Weekly (review of Lucky Stiff)

    Death by future mother-in-law.

    It's a thing.

    Lucky O'Toole is sure of it. What she isn't sure of is how to deal with it. In Paris, far away from her Vegas home, Lucky is out of her element and out of ideas.

    Especially when a fortune of rare wine is stolen from her fiancé's family in a daring heist using the tunnels under Paris.

    When an unsavory man from Lucky's past shows up to implicate her in the crime, Lucky is left to debate the merits of a firing squad over a guillotine or…

    She could find the wine and clear her name.

    Easy…until people start showing up dead and everyone seems to want Lucky's head on a pike.

    Especially the lead police detective investigating the murder and the theft who happens to also be the torch-carrying flame of her betrothed.

    Sensing an opening, Teddie, Lucky's former lover, in Paris to open a musical review in Montmartre, gives her a shoulder to cry on.

    A wise woman, Lucky runs, risking life and liver to find the wine and catch the killer before he kills again.

    Then, and only then, will she be free to make a choice about her future.

    A light, funny, romantic mystery providing a Paris escape appropriate for anyone looking for a good laugh. Get your copy today!


    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.

      Is there a more comical phrase, from the mouth of someone pushing 60, than ‘I'm an orphan now'? There may be rivals. ‘Suella Braverman,’ for example, ‘she's nice.’ Or ‘I love flying Ryanair.’ For all that, there is something so innately amusing about
