Excellent Series Debut Introduces a Sassy California PI

First book in the Kat Colorado series. Sacramento-based Investigator Kat Colorado tries to help her good friend Charity, who is going through a messy divorce. Charity suspects that her husband Sam has siphoned off $200,000 of their money and hidden it somewhere in an investment scheme in Las Vegas. Kat goes to Las Vegas and meets an old friend from her youth who appears to be connected with some seamy characters in Las Vegas. She also meets a hunky copy named "Hank", although she frequently has a Freudian slip and calls him "Hunk". (Hopefully we will see more of "Hank the Hunk" in future books in this series!) This book has lots of laughs in it! Kat Colorado is a strong (and funny!)female protagonist who reminds me of Kinsey Millhone and Stephanie Plum. I can't wait to read the other books in this series!
The book was fast moving

I was only able to read a couple of pages the first night I got the book and right away I was dreaming about the story. VERY engrosing characters. Kat is a gal that, for some reason, sticks with you for a while.The characters were well developed and that was good, considering how fast the storyline moves. I enjoyed the column starting each chapter. It was an entertaining read too. I like to read about strong women who know how to defend themself (Even with a cast on)
A stubborn P.I. who can't leave things alone

Kat takes a job to help a friend and leads to a trip to Las Vegas, an old friend, murder and romance. Hard to put down. Funny at times.
