Description from the publisher:
Five teenage girls from a small town in Oregon disappear without a trace.

Were they kidnapped, or have the five friends perpetrated a massive hoax? Nine hundred miles away, in Las Vegas, a woman with a dark secret vanishes on her way to meet friends for dinner.

Those friends are Del Honeycutt and best-selling mystery author Sabrina Spencer in Las Vegas for a book convention. As Del and Sabrina investigate their friend's disappearance, they are convinced that she has been abducted, and they begin to uncover the secrets that might have triggered her abduction - secrets that now put Del and Sabrina's lives in jeopardy.

When clues indicate that the five missing girls might also be in Las Vegas, the situation takes a new turn, directly into the unthinkable.

Once again, Del and Sabrina find themselves in deep trouble and marked for death, and they only have a few hours to solve the case, or their friend and the five young girls will be gone forever.

VEGAS LIES is the third book in the Lies series.  Though each mystery will stand on its own, the series is a continuing relationship between Sabrina and Del. I strongly recommend reading the series in the order of release.

This review could be written in one word:  abso-flippin-amazing!  (It is so a word!!)

There are two plot lines that seem to be running parallel to one another, with only a disturbingly twisted connection in the mind…. Until those two roads converge.  Beautifully done!

The strength in this book lies in the characters, especially the very strong women.  When I lived in South Carolina, my two best friends were both black belts; I was the “Del” when we went out.  LOL (Don’t worry; I was training.)  Though Del is continuously self-deprecating, I loved that by the end of this book he was showing his strength as well.

Narration:  I am fully indoctrinated into the Greg Hernandez reading style.  While he is not a “voice actor” in the manner to which my fiancé teaches, his method of reading is comfortable and enjoyable.  I have one more book in this series to enjoy this week and truly wish I had more.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions Adopt-an-Audiobook, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
