A Laugh-Out-Loud Cupcakes and Crime Caper"I tell myself every day that I don't hate my job. It doesn't pay as much as stripping or being a cocktail waitress, but I get to wear more clothes...

Instead, things spiral out of control and Tiffany finds herself in over her head, as she confronts secretive suspects, corrupt casino henchmen and her mysterious, ex-Special Forces bodyguard.Tiffany's poker-hustling Nanna and pushy parents want her to find a nice man and settle down, but Tiffany just wants to track down the real murderer before he finds her first...
A kickoff to the Tiffany Black series. Tiff is a black jack dealer in Vegas & is working on her private investigator license. A high school acquaintance, Sophia, has asked her to look into the charges against her for the murder of her husband Ethan. He was a casino owner, philanderer, father, & has ex wives. Tiffany is reluctant but takes the case (her 1st case). Piecing together an array of people involved with Ethan & the casino sends her to all sides of Vegas hunting down other suspects and information. A physical threat on Tiffany's life has her reevaluating if she really wants the case. Enter Jonathan Stone, security specialist who helps Tiffany learn basic security measures, weapon handling, & encourages her to take self defense classes. He rides to the rescue more than once and there maybe a little spark between them. Tiffany delves deeper into the mystery, ferreting out another crime that ties to the one she's working on. The book was a fast read but had too many characters, misspelled words, & had shades of other authors who use the irritating mother & wacky grandma trope.
