Summary
Allie can’t believe her luck. She rescues a blind man from a rude driver who honks at him, causing his groceries to go flying and trapping him in the street. Not only is Thomas Bennington III gorgeous, but he’s also smart, single, and interested in Allie. Could this day get any better?!
Maybe yes. Maybe no.
Just as Allie is about to enjoy her first kiss with Tom, a neighbor’s TV blares the winning lottery numbers. Tom’s winning lottery numbers. Tom bought the ticket to show a boy named Rune how pointless it is to spend money on the lottery. Now Tom has won $550 million. And Rune’s told everybody in his run down neighborhood about their good luck.
Before everything can even sink in, people are gunning for Allie and Tom – and Rune – and the money! Dead bodies are dropping, Tom and Allie’s homes have been ransacked, and Rune’s mom has been beaten up so badly, she’s in the hospital. Allie and Tom better lay low until they can figure out what to do with the lottery ticket and who they can trust.
Review
This was terrific! The characters and the premise were fun and fresh. I loved Allie and Tom as individuals and as a couple. Their commitment to one another and to Rune through the story was excellent.
The action was non-stop. The plot was intricate and twisty. I couldn’t figure out the culprit on my own. There were too many things going on to get a clear picture. It was terrific!
It was a joy to spend time with these characters, trying to figure out the puzzles in this book. I love where things ended for Allie and Tom. I will definitely be picking up the next book in the series to see what happens. The series is called A Somebody’s Bound to Wind Up Dead Mystery series and book two is Murder to the Metal.
If you love a good mystery with great characters and a romantic subplot, you should definitely check this one out!
