Today's book is Ink Flamingos by Karen E. Olson. Dee Carmichael, lead singer of the Flamingos in found in a hotel room, newly inked and dead as the proverbial doornail. Brett Kavanaugh, owner of the posh Painted Lady tattoo shop in Vegas, becomes a person of interest because someone matching her description was seen leaving the scene.
Things look even worse for Brett when it's discovered that she had done Dee's other tattoos and a blog springs up crediting Brett with the last tattoo as well. It seems that someone is impersonating Brett on-line as well in real life. And it's up to Brett to figure out who it is before she ends up being framed for murder.
Although I don't have any tattoos because of a medical condition (chickenitis), I love reading this series. I grabbed the first one because it took place in Vegas and I thought the title (The Missing Ink) was clever. The characters, from Brett's brother (and police officer) Tim to the small in stature but larger than life Bitsy keep me coming back for more. Ink Flamingos had plenty of twists and leaves the reader, as well as Brett, wondering if someone she considered a friend is out to destroy her.
