Five Stars - A terrific read
By Bruce Shayler on 17 Oct 2014
From the very first chapter the reader is in no doubt that there will be no putting this book down.
The fast paced plot takes you from a mysterious past in Paris and unfolds in Sydney. There is fast action as the innocent get caught up in the agenda of criminals balanced skilfully with humour.
I am sure there is more to come from this author and from some of these well drawn and believable characters. - amazon.co.uk

A Cupcakes-And-Crime Caper
Who could've wanted to kill the reality show contestant? Was it someone on the crew - the womanizing director, the secretive producer, the helpful consultant, or a rival contestant?
When Tiffany's friend Ian insists on entering a zombie-themed reality TV show, the duo stumble onto an unexpected murder.
Before they know it, they're embroiled in the investigation, and uncovering all kinds of secrets - and being followed by a mysterious assailant. Ian and Tiffany must track down the killer before it's too late!
"Winters will have you giggling into your book!"
Note: Zombie Cash Run in Las Vegas is a standalone book. However, the Tiffany Black in Las Vegas series is much more enjoyable if the books are read in order!
