LaManna, Gina, Sprinkled: A Lacey Luzzi Mystery. 7.54
hrs. Gina Thorwick, 2015. $19.95. Audible download
After failing to follow in her mother’s stripper shoes,
Lacey looked into her family history and discovered she was related to not only
the mafia, but the boss himself. As the estranged granddaughter of Carlos Luzzi,
Lacey wants to make her grandfather proud. For her first assignment, she’s
asked to find Carlos’ large shipment of the “good stuff” that was stolen by the
Russian Mafia. With the help of her ex-cop friend, Meg, her tech-wielding cousin,
Clay, and her mysterious hot personal trainer/person on Carlos’ occasional payroll,
Anthony, she tries to uncover the truth. Is the “good stuff” what Lacey thinks
it is? Did the Russian Mafia really steal it? Will Lacey find her place at her
grandfather’s heart or does she already have one?
Narrator, Caitlin Kelly does a great job of drawing Lacey’s
world to life. Her unique intonations match well with LaManna’s quirky
characters. The plot is well developed, entertaining, and has lots of twists
and turns. Kelly easily navigates the sudden plot changes and matches speed
with this well-paced book with ease while effectively mixing up the humor and
mystery. Together, Kelly and LaManna make a great pair. Fans of Janet Evanovich
or Jeaniene Frost will have a hard time putting this audiobook.
4.5 stars, ADULT
