The Princess of Las Vegas by Chris Bohjalian. Random House, Quaker Village Books, Large Print Edition, 2024. Adult fiction.Crissy has parlayed her looks as a look-alike for Princess Diana into a stage show at the Buckingham Palace, a rather seedy venue that is definitely not on The Strip in Las Vegas. When her sister, Betsy, who also looks a lot like the other two women, and her newly adopted daughter, Marisa, move to Las Vegas, Crissy finds herself with old resentments and new problems. Not to mention that the book starts out with the murder of one of the owners of Buckingham Palace and is soon followed by another murder! It is great fun to read about the city and the novel includes some tidbits about its past. Marisa is a former foster child with computer smarts and sometimes knows more than the adults about reading people. Bohjalian has taken a unique concept and fleshed it out beautifully. Take a chance on this story!
