“Wanna Get Lucky? sizzles. It beguiles and surprises. It’s belly-laugh funny. And that’s just the beginning. Add in unforgettable characters, crimes to die for, the ka-ching of high-stakes casinos, and Laura-Ashley-decorated bordellos, and you have a read that’s utterly irresistible from first page to last. Watch out, Janet Evanovich. The new hot number is Deborah Coonts!”
     —Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Spies

“Deb Coonts’ debut novel is more fun than a winning streak in Vegas! Lucky O’Toole is a character with brains, beauty and a wry sense of humor. Readers will want to meet her again—and soon.”
     —Diane Mott Davidson, New York Times bestselling author of Fatally Flakey

“Wanna Get Lucky? is a winner on every level. Deborah Coonts has crafted a first-class murder mystery coupled with a touching and unexpected love story.  Against a flawlessly-rendered Las Vegas backdrop, Lucky's story is funny, fast-paced, exuberant and brilliantly realized.”

“Deborah Coonts hits it out of the park with her debut novel, Wanna Get Lucky?  Peppered with delightfully witty characters and 'only in Vegas' hijinks, it’s definitely on my This Year’s Best Read list.” 
     —Stephen J. Cannell, New York Times bestselling author of the Shane Scully novels

“Wanna Get Lucky? by Deborah Coonts paints a dead-on portrait of Las Vegas that is somehow dark, outrageous, and hilarious at the same time. She is a true Vegas insider and her fabulous fictional character, Lucky O’Toole, 'chief problem solver' at a Vegas mega casino, is wise, witty, and brimming with cheery cynicism. Wanna Get Lucky? goes down faster than an ice-cold Bombay martini—very dry, of course, and with a twist.”
     —Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author of Blasphemy

“Get ready to win big—with a novel that will keep you glued to the pages all the way to the end. Wanna Get Lucky? is as entertaining as the city in which it's set.”
     —Brenda Novak, New York Times bestselling author of Trust me, Stop Me, and Watch Me

“If you've never been to Vegas, get ready to go. If you've been there a hundred times, get ready for some surprises. Wanna Get Lucky? is a murder mystery, as fresh, fast, and funny as they come, but it's a lot more than just a whodunnit. Deborah Coonts takes you on an insider's tour of Vegas and introduces you to a fabulous cast of Vegas characters, from the highest to the lowest, from the brightest to the dumbest, from the classiest to the sleaziest creeps in town. You'll love it, and when it's over, you'll want to go to Vegas with Deborah Coonts, because she's a writer who knows how to come up sevens on the first roll.”
     —William Martin, New York Times Best Selling Author of The Lost Constitution
