Luck Be A Lady (Tahoe Tessie Mysteries book #1)
3 STARS
by Gemma Halliday & T. Sue VerSteeg
I don't get the allure of casinos, gambling and hints of the mob, so I wasn't expecting to like this, but it wasn't half bad. The main character and her ridiculous stepmother were a bit endearing. I do, however, hate it when characters stupidly and knowingly put themselves in life threatening situations, and that happened here, when Tessie decided to visit her fathers competitor to get a few questions answered... just so irritating.
Merit Badge Murder (Merry Wrath Mysteries book #1)
1 STAR
by Leslie Langtry
After a few pages, I was quite hopeful thinking this would be a fun little mystery. I even laughed out loud once or twice. I very quickly got sick of laughing -- everything was too over to the top and relentlessly so. Dead bodies everywhere and a heroine that's smart enough to speak multiple languages, but too stupid to know how to decorate. I think if she had spent a minute or two online, she might have discovered Pinterest and found a few ideas. And I'm going to guess she had seen a curtain or two before being sent overseas by the CIA after she finished college.
Will update review as I read more of the books in this collection.
