The Case of the Missing Photographer in Las Vegas

by: A.R. Winters

Tiffany Black Cases - Book 1

Rating: (3.0/5)

Gambling, art exhibits, seances, and that's just the beginning...

Tiffany's life is certainly not the norm. With a dear friend in the hospital, issues at her casino job, changes at her PI job, and a new odd case, things are topsy-turvy to say the least.

As the story progresses and we learn more about Tiffany, I found myself drawn into her crazy world. And what's up with Rosie? She seems like a savant of sort, like a more functioning Rain Man to Tiffany's street smarts. As Rosie literally butts in on Tiffany's interview with new client on the case of a missing photographer, it is not clear where things will go. With seances, art gallery exhibitions, gambling issues, and such, it was not a typical read.

The resolution was so cool! That being said, I do have a number of open questions. Not quite cliffhangers but definite interest in the next book.

Happy Reading!

Plot Summary

Cupcake-loving croupier and part-time private investigator Tiffany Black has a strange new case - and her close friends and family are seeking new directions in their lives.

What happened to Monica Galgavan: why did she go missing twenty-five years ago, and is she still alive? Is Tiffany's client correct in thinking that Monica wouldn’t just leave on her own – and if so, is the person behind Monica's disappearance willing to strike again?

Meanwhile, Ian and Sally prepare to leave on their cruise, which means that Tiffany is without an assistant – until the mysterious Rosie shows up and insists on being part of Tiffany’s life.

What secrets is Rosie hiding, and why are strange men following her?

Most worryingly, Stone is still stuck in the hospital, and seemingly getting worse each day - is this a natural consequence of what he's been through, or is there an enemy lurking in the shadows, trying to bring him down?
