A Death in Vegas by Christopher Meeks Review & giveaway



My Review: 

This was a great story that had a few different mysteries wrapped up into one great book. I was worried that Patton Had been the killer, and disposed of his wife as well. The book did not really have enough "Vegas" in it for me, however it was a great look into trade shows and hotel rooms. As the book got closer to the end the plot started to thicken and the FBI was also tracking the Burch's. It was interesting how the author left off the Burch's relationship, and I would love to see them in future novels. I loved the cover and I had to read this book in one sitting! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

In A Death in Vegas, the president of BenBugs, a company that specializes in beneficial bugs for organic gardening, discovers a young woman dead in his Las Vegas hotel suite. She had worked as a sexy lady bug at his convention booth—and he had nothing to do with her death. While that’s being investigated, the FBI raids his booth on a money-laundering scam that he knows nothing about, either. Soon, the coroner doesn’t have good news. The police and FBI are against him—and his wife cannot be found. He flees to find the answers.
