4-STAR REVIEW: DEADLY. SET. VEGAS. by Vanessa M. Knight

The Description

A Vegas Victory FC Novel Series: Book 1
Publication Date: April 9, 2024

Kennedy Romero is not a murderer. Why is she the only one who believes that? Well, her and her best friend believe it. And, yes, she knows it’s a little coincidental that she arrived in Vegas the same day her best friend’s husband was killed. But she swears she had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, Vegas Metro has other ideas—and they all lead to Kennedy. So instead of enjoying her vacation in Las Vegas, she’s stuck smack-dab in the middle of a murder investigation.

What she would give for an all-you-can-eat buffet and watching her best friend’s soccer team play a match. But no. Instead of hitting the casinos, she’s trying to interview the players of the Vegas Victory FC and wishing she wasn’t the main suspect.

The body is growing as cold as the trail of the murderer. But if she doesn’t find the killer soon, Metro will be giving her a red card and she’ll be sitting in jail. Permanently.

Vanessa M. Knight’s Cozy Mysteries with a Kick ~ No open door scenes, we’re not that cozy (or un-cozy as it were.) But you will find a smattering of romance, a sprinkling of language not suitable for your grandma’s bridge club, quirky characters you’d like to have as neighbors, (and some you might not) all leading to a satisfying mystery.ExcerptPDF-imgThe Review

Chicago cop Kennedy Romero has been counting on a vacation in Las Vegas. Instead, she’s smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation involving her best friend’s husband.

Deadly. Set. Vegas. is the first installment of the Vegas Victory FC series by Vanessa M. Knight. It combines the glitz and glamour of Vegas with soccer.

Kennedy must find answers before she ends up behind bars, courtesy of the rather rude and unpleasant police officers. As she and Darcy dig into Chuck’s professional life, they become immersed in soccer team management.

The author uses humor to make the characters come to life as the investigation unfolds. In the process, Kennedy learns an important lesson that opens her life to happiness.

Who is Vanessa M. Knight? Well, I’m an author. Wow. After years and years of wanting to use those words, that is fun to say.  It’s almost as fun as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Did I spell that right?

I write contemporary romantic suspense.

I live in Chicagoland with my family and menagerie of four-legged friends. In my mind, these lovely animals do everything as they should. I’m the alpha, keeping peace and harmony amongst my humble servants. In real life, they own me. I’m the maid, here for their feeding pleasure. Well, that and to clean up their messes.

When not catering to the needs of adorably-furry faces, I slug through the nine to five grind and head home so I can write. Of course, that’s after I make dinner and clean the house and all the other tasks that go into family life. So really, I work, cater to animals and my family… and then, if I don’t fall face first into bed, I write. I love putting my characters into crazy situations and watching how they react.I hope you love reading about them.

I love to hear from fans.  I can be found on Facebook at VanessaMKnight and at www.vanessamknight.com.

My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
