Ink Flamingos (Tattoo Shop Mystery #4) by Karen E. Olson

Ink Flamingos (Tattoo Shop Mystery, #4)Ink Flamingos by Karen E. Olson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Dee Carmichael, lead singer of the pop sensation The Flamingoes, has been one of Brett Kavanaugh's most dedicated customers at her tattoo shop. When Dee is discovered dead surrounded by ink pots and needles, Brett is branded a suspect.

It seems that someone is impersonating Brett. And if she doesn't act fast, the killer is sure to put the dye in dying once again...

Finished this back in July but did not journal.



I absolutely love this series. Each one seems to be a little bit better than the last. Really like where these are going as far as Bret's personal life. Very much looking forward to the next one.

Driven to Ink (Tattoo Shop Mystery #3) by Karen E. Olson

Driven to Ink (Tattoo Shop Mystery, #3)Driven to Ink by Karen E. Olson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Brett Kavanaugh is a tattoo artist and owner of Vegas's hottest tattoo shop, The Painted Lady. And in her spare time, she does some sleuthing. After discovering the corpse of a Dean Martin impersonator-sporting a spider web tattoo and a clip cord from a tattoo machine wrapped around his neck-Brett infiltrates That's Amore, a drive-through wedding chapel, as a bride-to-be looking for the mark of a murderer...



Had a harder time getting into this book than I did the previous couple. Overall it was an enjoyable read. Almost too much going on, but it all came together in the end. I do like the path that Brett and Jeff's relationship is taking.

Love this series. The characters are being more fully developed and the plot is interesting. I am curious where the relationship between Bret and Jeff is going to go. The plot was multi-layered and interesting to read. Really looking forward to more books in this series. Going on my pre-order list!

When a girl makes an appointment for a tattoo of the name of her fiancĂ© embedded in a heart, Brett takes the job but the girl never shows. The next thing Brett knows, the police are looking for her client, and the name she wanted on the tattoo isn’t her fiancĂ©’s...



My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fun new series. I liked the main character. She is spunky and fun. The mystery kept me guessing to the end. The book could have been written a little better, but it is a series that I intend to continue with.
