あらすじ・解説
Everyone has a hidden talent.
As the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas' most over-the-top destination, solving the occasional murder is in Lucky's job description.
A rapier wit, her weapon of choice.
Lucky Bastard

And one of the big-name players in a huge poker tournament ends up dead.
Are the two deaths related?

Her former lover, Teddie, comes back from his rock tour to deliver a bombshell.
Then, life deals another major complication to her personal life...and it's not going to be pretty.
Can Lucky handle the fallout and catch a killer?
A light, funny, romantic mystery providing a Vegas 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.
Praise for Lucky Bastard
"If you're entertained by sex, innuendo and a few fantasies you'd like to see played out - and who isn't? - you ought to have Lucky and her extended Vegas family (So Damn Lucky, 2012, etc.) on speed dial." (Kirkus Reviews starred review)
"This fast, funny, frantic Vegas-set series offers great laughs as well as compelling mystery and intriguing continuing characters. You'll want to spend more time with Lucky, the daughter of a former madam and a mobster." (RT Book Reviews)
"...the talented Coonts takes the reader on another wild ride through Sin City." (Booklist)
"Lucky’s sass and snark make for fun reading...." (Publishers Weekly)
