Even Money
From bestselling mystery author Stephanie Caffrey comes the latest case for Sin City's favorite PI...
Raven McShane has just about had it with her night job as an exotic dancer in Las Vegas. So when she gets wind of an investment that seems to be paying off big time, she thinks it could be her one-way ticket out of the seamy strip club lifestyle she's known so well. But soon after she forks over her money, Raven gets cold feet, thinking the whole thing might be too good to be true...and when another investor winds up dead, she's got a murder on her hands too! Now Las Vegas's most unusual detective must enlist her favorite muscle-bound accomplices for help tracking down the murderer and recovering her money at the same time. But after the main suspect disappears, she finds herself at a dead end until a tip from a cigar-chomping, bourbon-swilling old lady leads her on a sweltering trip south of the border. Hot on the trail of a killer, and wanted by Mexican law enforcement, can Raven outwit a con artist and live to tell about it?

Now that was high adventure all round I loved the ending Alex is the bomb, I love how Carlos and Raven work so well together but Mike has been a huge judgmental disappointment. The mystery was awesome and I just love Raven can't wait to see where the next adventure leads her.

I Iove this series!
I always enjoy reading about Raven and her antics. This time, it's a Ponzi scheme that she's involved in and wild things end up happening. Carlos, her reluctant sidekick, is right along with her a she gets to the bottom of the fraud.

A fun read
Raven gets into some right stuff. Attempted murder, mayhem and time in jail. She calls on Carlos to help her when she has a problem finding the man that all the girls are investing money with. There are a few twisty bits but I enjoyed reading this book.

I have to say that coming to the end of the series was a blow to me.
No more Raven? What am I going to do?
Hopefully, wait for the next one.
This time, Raven actually leaves Las Vegas!!!!
But unlike the inhabitants of Shangri-La, I'm amazed to find out she can exist elsewhere, although naturally there are problems. Funny, witty, and aware of how financial crimes work, though of course in her own unique way, Raven is still the con man or criminal's worst enemy.
I loved every page.

My only disappoint in reading this book is that there isn't a book 6. I blew through this series in no time, always looking forward to Raven's next adventure. There hasn't been a new book in at least 7 years so I'm guessing Stephanie isn't writing anymore. But, Stephanie, if you see this, please consider continuing the series!

Raven Strikes again!
Just finished this book and was disappointed because it didn't hold my attention like the previous ones. Really didn't give a good resolution to the story. Left me hanging and wanting a better ending. Is this the last one in the series?

Disappointing End to Series
Not up to previous books in this series. It was almost a chore getting thru this one. Normally three nights or less. This has been over two weeks. I am not one to shut down a book, especially one from an author I like. The other books were entertaining, held my attention and always looked forward to the next one.

This is a great book; this book is the fifth book in the Raven McShane Mystery series written by Stephanie Caffrey. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Even Money is a humorous divalicious cozy mystery and the fifth book in the Raven McShane Mysteries series. Even Money is full of twists and turns. A stripper tries to make the investment that will get her out of her life of stripping. When one thing after another happens, she finds herself in another country on the trail of a killer. I really enjoyed this book, and I definitely recommend it.
