The Lucie Rizzo Mystery Series, Books 1-4

A Crime Caper Animal Mystery Series

By: Adrienne Giordano

Narrated by: Laura Princiotta, Kelsey Navarro

"This mystery will sink its fangs into your funny bone and drag you along by a leash of laughter." (Denise Swanson, New York Times best-selling Author)

Dog Collar Crime

Dog walking seemed like an innocent job…but the mob has its paws in everything.

Lucie Rizzo, investment banker. Status: unemployed.

Lucie Rizzo is forced to move home to her nutty, mob-infested family. When she parlays her temporary dog-walking gig into a career, she is thrown into a criminal conspiracy straight out of a gangster movie. One that, if she’s not careful, could leave her sleeping with the fishes.

Knocked Off

Being stuck in the old neighborhood is the last thing reluctant mob princess Lucie Rizzo wants. She's determined to make a name for herself.

When an art deal she brokered between clients turns suspicious, it's up to Lucie to uncover the truth. She might not know the difference between Monet and Manet, but Rizzos are no strangers to jail time — and Lucie refuses to be someone's prison bitch.

Limbo

Lucie Rizzo's life is...complicated. She's worked hard to grow a legit business and leave behind the mob princess reputation. Now her mobster father is on parole, making things awkward at home — especially with her detective boyfriend. And thanks to an inescapable penchant for trouble, Lucie keeps stumbling into the wrong crime at the wrong time.

When her favorite client is snatched at a dog show by a mystery woman, Lucie and her zany sidekicks will do anything to take back what's theirs.

Boosted

Lucie's knack for finding trouble lands her in hot water—and the six o'clock news. Someone's absconded with a million-dollar piece of cinematic costume history, with Lucie the only witness to the crime. Not to mention the prime suspect. To clear her name, she'll need an assist from her entire wacky crew.

Good storyline if your Italian

A little to much sex . Kind of kicking the it’ll American to the curb, but in a nice way

great, humerous, good characters, I

This is a new author for me and it was a great find. If you love animals. and like to laugh, read this series. I like the characters and they are mostly believeable.

Not needed.

All in all it’s not a bad story but I personally could do without the sex scenes. They’re not necessary.

Loved this series

Great characters and plenty of laughs. wonderful dog stories too. will be looking for next books in this series!

4 stars book 1 - narrator change blew it for me.

I really enjoyed the first book! Had me laugh out loud a few times. Sure, the narrator might have been a *little girlie but I thought she fit well.

Happily opened book two and the narrator is this deep voiced, snobby woman whose inflections could never be a dog walker's voice.

So disappointing. Couldn't listen for more than a few minutes. Maybe I'll read the other books but I sure won't be listening.
