A scorching Las Vegas summer is about to get even hotter. Aspiring journalist Copper Black has just found out that her boyfriend is responsible for his not-quite-ex-wife's pregnancy. An unexpected house-sitting job at a notorious Las Vegas "party house" should provide not only a private swimming pool but also much-needed distraction. While researching a story about an exclusive private school, Copper accidentally discovers the dead body of the school's beloved founder. Now involved in a high-profile murder investigation, Copper turns to her brother, a civic-minded pastor who is overseeing the construction of a center for the homeless. A Paiute medicine man claims the site is a sacred burial ground, attracting hordes of protesters. As she tries to solve the murder, help her brother, advance her career, and sort out her love life, Copper stirs up a world of trouble. Her escapades as she evades a sociopath, a disturbed cowgirl, and a suspicious homicide detective make Megan Edwards' rousing debut Getting Off on Frank Sinatra a nonstop roller coaster of a read.… (meer)

A light, easy reading mystery set against the backdrop of neon lights of Las Vegas, Nevada. (

Copper is a journalist in Vegas (what better place!!) While researching a story about a private school....enter a DEAD BODY!

Copper is an adorable character. Something is always happening to her, through no fault of her own.... Well, maybe a little fault. She almost gets blown up, beat up and arrested, it to name a few! I enjoyed her many escapades and her floundering to get out of a mess!

I also enjoyed the history splattered within this book. I love Vegas!! The author did a fabulous job weaving old mobsters and their tales throughout this story. Not sure if the tales are real or imagined, but really adds to the setting and the plot itself. I loved the mobster house and all it's history and quirks!

This is a really good long car 🚗 ride book. I could have finished it in one sitting if my crazy life allowed. I actually lost time while reading one day and was almost late for work. I got caught up in a blown up house and a lost tortoise name Oscar. Completely entertaining and sometimes that is exactly what you need! (

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. (
