It's a Dry Heat - Francis Maloney - Bog

This book combines the first three books of the Melicent Unger Series in one book. Enjoy the he Counterfeiter, Black Widow and County Fair all together. Welcome to southern Nevada in the extreme heat of the desert every summer. There's so much more than the tourist spots, the stories unfold in places you see signs for off of Interstate 15. She meets a truck driver at the Hidden Valley exit, her son has trouble ust over the border into Utah at the Cedar Pockets exit. There's Mesquite with casinos, Overton with it's small town charm, Roger Springs, if you haven't been exploring these areas after this you may want to.
Melicent heading into her golden years is not the rocking chair grandma type, at least not yet. A couple of divorces, failed romances, legal and financial troubles combine creating more problems for her and with each "fix" to a problem new ones arise. She earned the name CaCa Counterfeiter, going to prison for a short sentence after making a deal with the DA. Determined to start over with a job, place of her own and a little romance she fights with her new friend Flo over some of Las Vegas' older gentlemen. She picked the wrong gentleman and ended up back in jail. Finally doing community service at the Clark County Fair in Logandale, Nevada where there is more than one mystery to solve.
Get ready to laugh.
