Megan Edwards is the award-winning author of FULL SERVICE BLONDE, GETTING OFF ON FRANK SINATRA, and STRINGS: A LOVE STORY. All three novels were first-place winners of Benjamin Franklin book awards in 2018. Edwards is also the author of ROADS FROM THE ASHES: AN ODYSSEY IN REAL LIFE ON THE VIRTUAL FRONTIER, a memoir of her five-year adventure living and working on the road during the dawn of the Internet. At home in Las Vegas, Nevada, where there's never a shortage of fascinating material and inspiration, Edwards is working on her next novel.
Megan Edwards takes us through a Las Vegas both ordinary and odd. Her narrator's mix of humor and innocence plays nicely against the city's colorful grit as she encounters a parade of unsavory -- yet complicated -- characters in an effort to unearth the details of a murder. Told with warmth and wit, and ripe with suspense, this book is a delightful read -- Heather Skyler, author of the novels The Perfect Age, and Vegas Girls I was sucked in by Copper and the story. This book was engrossing and nuanced and surprising. The characters are well developed, their interactions are realistic and flawed (just like real people) and the atmosphere is captivating. I didn't want to put the book down- like all the best books I had to know what happened, and what happens next. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for more from Copper Black. -- Laura Gibbons, owner Red Hen Bookshop
