Raven McShane thought it would be a relatively simple case. All she had to do was prove whether or not heiress Melanie Weston's boyfriend is part of the royal family. Unfortunately, things are never that simple when Raven is involved and she soon finds herself in a complicated web of lies and deceit, where no one can be trusted.

The mystery in ROYAL FLUSH is surprisingly complex. Stephanie Caffrey weaves together a whole string of disreputable characters as there are suspects aplenty. The ending resolution caught me completely off guard as Stephanie Caffrey did a marvelous job with the red herrings.

I really like how Stephanie Caffrey is evolving Raven's character as we are getting to see a side of her that we can relate to. In the first book in particular, we saw more of her stripper persona but now we are starting to see another side of her. Raven isn't afraid to laugh at herself, whether it's the embarrassing scenario at the spa or the club. And yes, I laughed right along with her!

ROYAL FLUSH is a spectacular blend of hardboiled detective work and outrageously funny scenes. Stephanie Caffrey captures the heart and soul of Las Vegas perfectly in ROYAL FLUSH while crafting a darned good mystery in the process. ROYAL FLUSH is the third book in the Raven McShane series but can easily be read as a standalone. However, this series is so much fun that I can't imagine why anyone would want to miss out on a single book! I can't wait to see what the future holds for Raven McShane as this is one series I'm hooked on!
