Synopsis (Goodreads):

In this new Jayne Frost and Sinclair Crowe mystery, a royal road trip takes the Princess and Prince Consort of the North Pole all the way to Las Vegas.

And even though they’re in Sin City on official business, it doesn’t take long for trouble to find them. Trouble that’s very close to home. In fact, Sinclair’s entire family is gambling on him and Jayne figuring out what’s gone dangerously wrong with the cool new magic trick at the end of his parents’ show.

Thankfully, they have help from a few friends and a pair of talking cats. But how many times can they roll the dice before time runs out?

Thoughts on Lost in Las Vegas: Sweet! Jayne and her Necromancer honey bunny are kissing babies and solving crimes in Vegas. Well, actually, there wasn't any baby kissing that I can recall. But the solving crime part happened.

The crime in question? Sinclair's mother has gone missing after his parents' newest act and the fact she's a zombie and his dad uses actual magic in said show means they can't exactly report this to the police. Good thing Jayne has some solid sleuthing abilities under her belt. Plus, Birdie happens to be in town and nobody can crack a computer and have relevant information spill out like that lady.

Which means mama Crowe is practically found. Well, not really. The family and assorted friends (plus talking cats) have their work cut out for them as they dig through who could want to derail their show. Or who might have it in for the Crowes, really. A few false starts, a few fruitless searches, and a fair amount of worry later and the crew ends up on the right track.

I like the princess and her consort and having them on the road solving crime is just FUN.
