She's protecting a bestselling vampire author. Too bad nobody protected the assistant.Mimi Capurro has seen some things. Cheating husbands. Insurance fraudsters. One very uncomfortable stakeout involving a coffee can. But nothing in her private detective career prepared her for walking into the dining room of her current client's home that night. Now Mimi's juggling a book tour bodyguard gig, a murder investigation she was specifically told to stay out of, and the sudden reappearance of Nick Christianson — the one man from her past who can make her forget she's a professional. Mostly by being infuriating.With a killer who's clearly read the book, a vampire role-playing cult with surprisingly good rock-paper-scissors skills, and a client whose entire crisis may have been a publicity stunt, Mimi's going to need more than her nine millimeter and her Doberman Lola to sort this one out.Though, honestly? Lola might be enough.Wickedly funny, deliciously twisty, and just dark enough to make you sleep with the lights on — Let Us Prey proves that the most dangerous fans aren't the ones who love you. They're the ones keeping score.Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Charlaine Harris who like their mysteries with a side of chaos and a heroine who pukes at crime scenes but shows up anyway.
