Salted

Lacey Luzzi Mafia Mysteries, Book 3

By: Gina LaManna

Narrated by: Caitlin Kelly

After taking a gig with her grandfather - the Don of the Italian mafia - Lacey Luzzi has been in for a wild ride. Stolen property, rogue weddings and uncomfortable Family dinners - she's seen it all. However this time, when Carlos interrupts Lacey's sugar-induced nap with a phone call, he gives her an assignment that sends her skidding into a place she least expects: the local spa.

Surprisingly funny and twisty

I really enjoy the character development. Passions rise but no overt sex keeps the storyline hopping. Narration is great with good distinction of characters.

LOVED It!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Lacey Luzzi Mafia Mysteries series by Gina LaManna and narrated by Caitlin Kelly. Lacey gets another assignment from Carlos, she is investigating the local spa and rumors of a prostitution ring. I loved this book and seeing what kind of crazy situations that Lacey gets herself into. This book kept me laughing throughout it.

The narrator Caitlin Kelly did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. She did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end.

The spa from hell?

This series is free of graphic sex, and extreme violence. Well, except when you snort coffee out your nose from sudden contact with wiseassery. Lucy Lacey is at it again with her friends and relatives. Her relatives? Well, her grandfather is the Godfather in Minneapolis, her cousin is the ultimate geek. Friends? Girlfriend is an ex-cop with her own view of justice, and the bodyguard is simply delish. This time, she needs to find out who is running the prostitution ring in town so that they can be "encouraged" to leave town. The Salt in the title refers to a spa. No spoilers here. Just be prepared for a hilarious time!
Caitlin Kelly gives her usual super audio performance, and brings each of the *characters* to clearly defined life. She always has the appropriate pacing, and her speech is clear and you can feel that she is having so much fun with this.
I received this book as a gift from a FB friend.

Lacey Luzzi does it again!

If you could sum up Salted in three words, what would they be?

Hilarious, witty, and unbelievable!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Once in the chamber.

Have you listened to any of Caitlin Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have and she is one of my favorite narrators. She always brings her characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

I love this series. Lacey is so inexperienced when it comes to the mob life she just kinda falls at the right time in in the right place. She and her best friend Meg are my two favorite characters. I was a little surprised to learn of their background together.

LOVED IT ONCE AGAIN!!! I cant get enough of this series, and will be trying to wait patiently for book 4! Once again Lacey is sticking her nose in where she probably shouldn't and getting herself in deep trouble, this one she almost gets blown up a couple times! All the characters are super great in this series, and I absolutely can not get enough of Caitlin Kelly's narrations...she is 100% AWESOME!!!!!

Thank You Once Again Caitlin!!!

Really enjoyed listening to this book!

Characters were great, interesting, funny, perfect with each other! Narrator did an Amazing job!

Awesome Story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I think Caitlin did a very good job with
all the characters. I always thought the books were funny but I think hearing
them out loud made them even funnier. I'm definitely looking forward to getting
the other books in the series. If they're half as good as this one, then I know that
I'm going to love them too.

Funny Mob Princess

Where does Salted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks near the top. So difficult to compare apples to oranges. Each book is a delight in itself for a variety of reasons. This one is humorous, has an engaging mystery and romance.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

One knew that our lovely, but inept protagonist would get rescued but how and by whom.

Which scene was your favorite?

Difficult to say as the most recent listened to is what is fresh in my mind. All interaction between Lacey and Anthony is entertaining. Other scenes would be spoiled if I were to describe them.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There was a chuckle, snort, and more.

Hot water Spa

I must say that as this series progresses (each book is its own story) Lacey finds herself in more and more hot water which she somehow manages to get out of while at the same time she manages (with the help of a few friends) to solve a problem for her mafia grandfather/family.
Gina LaMana certainly knows how to spin a clever tale and she does it with wit and cunning and then along comes Caitlin Kelly - and as she speaks, she paints verbal pictures with her clever narration. Well done ladies. This has been a great partnership.
I'm really looking forward to the next audiobook in this series.
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

Imagine Stephanie Plum working for the mob!

This is the third book in the series and they keep getting better. Lacey Luzzi grows up with a single mom and then discovers that her family include the boss of the Twin Cities mob. She does odd jobs for her grandfather that usually turn out to be not illegal.

I am really enjoying Gina's books and cannot wait for the next one.
