Publisher's summary

*** USA TODAY BESTSELLER AUTHOR***

Brassy, sassy southern babe Laurel London is back!

Once again, the entire Laurel London crew is in action, including Trixie Turner, and trying to figure out who is the mastermind behind the Glitz and Glam casino heist.

The heist king blackmails Laurel into believing Laurel’s long time best friend, Derek Smitherman, will be on the other end of the vigilante gun if she doesn’t help in stealing the money using her history of petty crime.

Cursed with a disastrous new task of putting her amateur sleuth skills to work and an increasing sense that it's really time to get a new job, Laurel spirals and tumbles through CHECKERED THIEF with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.

Second Chances

Loved the story. The AI voice in this one is better but I prefer a human reader/actor

Virtual voice was boring

I disliked the soulless virtual voice narration as it made the story almost impossible to follow. I have enjoyed Tonya Kappes audiobooks for several years. Part of the enjoyment of listening to them is the different voice inflections a good narrator brings to the experience. I will listen to the older audiobooks in my library before ever spending my time or money listening to a boring and bland virtual voice narrator again. In my opinion, if virtual voice is the future of audiobooks, then there will be no future.
