While researching a story about an exclusive girls school, aspiring journalist Copper Black, discovers the body of the schools founder. Now Copper is involved in a high profile murder investigation.

This is an easy book to read but there is a bit too much going on in the storyline. There is some humour along the way. A decent enough read.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Imbrifex Books and the author Megan Edwards for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars

This first Copper Black mystery is fun and zany. Set in the not-based-on-reality world of Las Vegas, it starts out with a few crazy tidbits (like the fact that the main character's boyfriend cheated on her with his almost-ex-wife and got her pregnant) and gets weirder with every chapter.

Copper is a very likable heroine who makes even her nutty family (both her mother and father have boyfriends) seem ok. The mystery itself has a few interesting twists and turns and if the story doesn't quite hang together sometimes, there are enough distractions to cover.

I received an ARC of this novel via Net Galley in return for my honest review.

Getting Off on Frank Sinatra

What a fun and quirky read. A mystery, set in Las Vegas and centres around Copper Black, an aspiring journalist who accidentally finds herself involved in a high profile murder investigation.

There's a lot going on in this story and sometimes it's hard to keep up but it's a great little read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book, with thanks to Netgalley and the publisher. 3.5*

I was hooked in from the start and couldn't wait to find out what happened.

'Getting Off On Frank Sinatra' has it all - wit, mystery, romance, an hysterical Modern Family and outright laughs. Megan Edwards descriptions were so skilled that I felt the Las Vegas heat as I read. Once I started I literally could not put it down. The next book in the series is already in the works, and I for one am elated!

Getting off on Frank Sinatra is a cute, light mystery. The mystery portion was entertaining if a little obvious and convoluted. I liked the main character, Copper Black, a lot but wanted her to get rid of the men she chooses to date and find someone much better for her. While I liked the title and its subsequent explanation in the book, it played such a small, inconsequential role in the story which left me wondering why that title was chosen ultimately.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
