What Happens In Vegas... (Dev Haskell Private Investigator Book 15) (Dev Haskell - Private Investigator)
- 4.0 out of 5
- 726 ratings
- 241 pages
Overall Content Rating: Parents Strongly Cautioned PG-13
This Las Vegas mystery follows a private investigator caught up in casino events, Barbie-themed publicity, and criminal trouble. Expect steady conversational profanity, a handful of stronger swears, suggestive situations and nudity references tied to party and art-world settings, and action that includes fistfights and a seriously violent aftermath. Parents should know the lead is framed as overly flirtatious around attractive women, with beatings from criminals and a twisty plot. Language is typical of adult hard-boiled banter; physical harm is shown with blood but is not the sole focus of every chapter. There is no sampled content in the categories of racism, blasphemy-focused themes, or LGBTQ+ identity in the provided notes.
