Summary: A real gem of a mystery
Review: This is a great first thriller! In "Las Vegas Comp: Murder at the Emerald Towers", we meet detective Fargo Blue, retired Las Vegas cop turned private eye. Fargo's assignment in this story is to recover a large amount of cash owed to his beautiful poker-playing client, nicknamed "Pleasure." The story quickly turns into a murder mystery, though, when a woman is found murdered by the pool in the Emerald Towers casino. Fargo finds himself as the prime suspect in the murder. The story twists and turns through glittery Las Vegas, and features a jewel heist, another murder and several secret identities. I thoroughly enjoyed the Las Vegas setting. In addition to Fargo Blue, the McKenzie Borthers introduce several other interesting characters, including Fargo's partner, Sherri, who is a former coast guard sailor, and Uncle Leo, horse addict and attorney who shares an office with Fargo and Sherri. The book contains an excerpt of the next Fargo Blue mystery, which looks like another great page turner. If you're looking for a fresh gumshoe, I highly recommend checking out this story!

Summary: GREAT WHODUNIT !!! CREATIVE CHARACTERS
Review: This would be an excellent book to read while relaxing at any one of the pools in Las Vegas. I didn't read this while in Vegas, However if you have been to Vegas you can identify with a lot of the locations mentioned. (even though some are fictional in the book)Iam looking forward to their next book.
