Publisher Description:

Meet Jasmine, 1 forensic supersleuth, 2 aspiring Model Daughter, 3 and friend to animals.4 One second she's trying to enjoy her Vegas Vacation, 5 the next she's tangled up in an outrageous adventure and has to outwit a crazed killer before he ends ten lives, one of them her own.6

1 Hi That's me
2 I. Wish.
3 Emphasis on aspiring. Current status: failing.
4 If friend means unsuspecting victim and animals means one very bad kitty.
5 And meet the cute guy at the Snack Hut. I have priorities.
6 Meep But I guess it winds up okay since Kirkus Reviews says: Inventive, witty, and laugh-out-loud funny, with an enjoyably twisty ending. They wouldn't say that if everyone died, right? Right?
