Las Vegas is known for it's casinos, wedding chapels, and
plethora of celebrity impersonators. When you combine
all three, and mix in a little tattooing on the
side, you know you are in store for a great mystery -- and
Karen E. Olson's latest book, DRIVEN TO INK, fills this bill
to a T.
Brett Kavanaugh, owner of The Painted Lady tattoo shop,
once again finds herself up to her ink-filled tattoo guns
in trouble when her beloved red Mustang is found to be the
final resting place for a Dean Martin impersonator. Brett
had loaned her car to Sylvia Coleman (mother of her rival
Jeff) and her fiancé, Bernie Applebaum, to use to go get
married at "That's Amore," a drive-through wedding
chapel. But when the car is returned, complete with the
dead body, Sylvia and Bernie seem to have disappeared and
suddenly Dean Martin impersonators are dropping like flies
all over town!
Despite her brother, Detective Tim Kavanaugh's, objections,
Brett convinces Jeff to help her find his mother and her
new husband. His brilliant idea to pose as
a couple looking to get married seems like a good idea at
the time, but the closer they get to finding the real
killer, the more it looks like Brett and Jeff might have
inked their last tattoos.
In the third book of A Tattoo Shop Mystery series, Karen E.
Olson continues to satisfy her readers with an edgy mystery
based in the liveliest city on earth, Sin City itself! As a
former resident of Las Vegas, I can attest to the realism
Olson brings to her story-- from the grimy back-streets to
the never-ending traffic on the strip. And as a fan of
tattoos, I can appreciate the realistic descriptions of
tattooing that Olson incorporates into the story. I look
forward to the next book, Ink Flamingos.
The latest in the cleverly designed tattoo shop mystery
series.
Brett Kavanaugh is a tattoo artist and
owner of Vegas's hottest tattoo shop, The Painted Lady. And
in her spare time, she does some sleuthing. After
discovering the corpse of a Dean Martin
impersonator-sporting a spider web tattoo and a clip cord
from a tattoo machine wrapped around his neck-Brett
infiltrates That's Amore, a drive-through wedding chapel, as
a bride-to-be looking for the mark of a murderer...
