Recensioner i media

“Full Service Blonde is an original and riveting mystery by a master of the genre. An unfailingly entertaining read replete with unexpected and narrative-driven twists and turns, Full Service Blonde is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community library Mystery/Suspense collections.” —Midwest Book Review“Readers will enjoy smart, sassy Copper as she handles family and professional crises with aplomb.” —Publishers Weekly“Full Service Blonde is a breezy, entertaining mystery dealing with prostitutes, thieving cats, and the bustling Vegas Strip. It is a fantastic read—light on mystery, heavy on romance and drama, it would make for a perfect poolside escape, or a work to devour on a flight to Vegas.” —John M. Murray, Foreword Reviews“After Victoria’s body is found in the desert, Copper is determined to solve the murder of a woman she had started to admire… An entertaining mystery.” —Lesa Holstine, Library Journal“I loved this fast-paced murder mystery. Full of eccentric characters and twists in the storyline, Full Service Blonde provides the reader with a great escape to Las Vegas, without having to get off the couch. I also recommend this book for a reader’s group. It will definitely stimulate some lively conversations!” —Paige Lovitt, Reader Views“Full Service Blonde is not only an entertaining mystery, it is a Las Vegas buffet of situations that prove that what happens in Vegas can happen anywhere… It’s first and foremost a superb story with a likeable and believable cast of characters.” —Ruth Mormon, RoadTrip America“Megan Edwards takes us through a Las Vegas both ordinary and odd. Her narrator’s mix of humor and innocence plays nicely against the city’s colorful grit as she encounters a parade of unsavory—yet complicated—characters in an effort to unearth the details of a murder. Told with warmth and wit, and ripe with suspense, this book is a delightful read.” —Heather Skyler, author of The Perfect Age and Vegas Girls“I was sucked in by Copper and the story. This book was engrossing and nuanced and surprising. The characters are well developed, their interactions are realistic and flawed (just like real people), and the atmosphere is captivating. I didn’t want to put the book down—like all the best books, I had to know what happened, and what happens next. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for more from Copper Black.” —Laura Gibbons, Owner, Red Hen Bookshop
