I thought this book looked like I fun read when I wanted to win this book in the giveaway. This book did not let me down. I enjoyed the characters and had a great time reading this book. I would read more books in this series. * I received this book from a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review* Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I was asked to review this book from www.Libraything.comThis is the third book in the Silver Sisters series - you get the gist without reading books 1 and 2. Interesting story set in Las Vegas (where anything goes) magic meets crime - unusual story setting. I chucked through this and remembered places I had visited in Vegas a few years ago. Had not come across this author who writes a good story and writes well. I will be heading online to buy books 1 and 2. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This is a sweet and funny book about family and Las Vegas. If you have ever been to Las Vegas, you can really understand about the glitz and the excessiveness of the city. The characters are great as they have both the young and old. A family holiday adventure is a nice way to start reading about summer vacations. The twists with the twins is surprising. All in all, its a nice book to read when you go on vacation. It's all about being with family. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This book made me laugh but I also groaned a few times. The characters are really characters! It's hard not to like this family but the level of cheese at times almost derailed the story. But I hung in there and overall found it time well spent. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A fun-filled Silver Sisters escapade in "Sin City"... After Godiva's son Torch buys a condo in Las Vegas, his grandmother Flossie and great uncle Sterling decide to pay him a visit. When the old vaudeville magicians drag him to the Pageant of Peacocks starring sexy Mara the Magnificent it's love at first sight. The romance blossoms but when Torch returns from a meeting in L.A., Mara seems cold and distant. Torch turns to his mother, the advice columnist, for a helping hand. Godiva agrees to check things out during her upcoming trip to Vegas, when she joins her twin sister Goldie at a big antique expo. Flossie and Sterling tag along for a second trip to sin city. The family gets a shock while attending Mara's show, where a stagehand dies during the performance. Police call it accidental, but Mara is convinced its murder. Torch told her about his family's uncanny ability to solve mysteries, so she begs them to investigate the death of her friend. They start to poke around in their clever, but kooky, fashion and uncover an even bigger mystery. This time Flossie and Sterling take the lead and when they uncover a diabolical plot they come close to doing a disappearing act of their own! Twists, turns, murder and mayhem. Just when you think you've solved it, something else happens. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Like many cosy mysteries the investigator(s) are quirky. In this case they are a pair of retired stage magicians, one of whom is the mother of twin daughters who have their own adult children, so Grandma Flossie and great uncle Sterling must at least be in their 60's, although my guess from their description is that they are at least 10 years older than this. I understand that in the other books in the series the twin daughters (who are also rather quirky) are the investigators, but here it's the old retired magicians (although they still do a turn once a week for the old people in a home).
And what better place to set a mystery being investigated by magicians than Las Vegas? The basic outline of the plot is adequately described elsewhere, so I won't go into it here. The plot is excellent, and the crimes are unusual both in their execution and their raison d'etre, with amusing and unexpected twists and turns.
Highly recommended, but I should also mention that I received a copy of this ebook through the Early Reviewer's giveaway. ( )
