Product Description
Mojo's got an uncanny knack for winning at slots, but her home sweet home is Bad-Ass Bert's Biker Saloon. She'd love to go undercover with an irresistibly hot cop, but he's got baggage as big as his biceps. Mojo survived a mysterious childhood tragedy, but she's never quite figured out who she really is or how to get on with her life. Now the wisecracking Mojo is seeing ghosts?the ectoplasmic kind? and turning up baffling clues to her real identity. And she'll need all her savvy and strange new talent to keep someone from burying her?and the truth?for keeps.

 Deadly Gamble by Linda Lael Miller October 5, 2008
I loved this book, as I usually do anything written by Linda Lael Miller. I don't usually read suspense novels, but this one had me not wanting to put the book down. I look forward to her next "Deadly Deceptions"

Thoroughly enjoyed it - couldn't put it down. Can't wait to get the next one.

This novel is much in need of pruning. The tie-up of loose ends becomes comic at the end.
 Great character March 6, 2008

This is my first book by this author and so I had no expectations coming in. I was overjoyed by this character and this book. Mojo Sheepshanks was everthing a female character needs to be. Tough, independent and a little vunerable. Deadly Gamble had a great mystery, wonderful secondary characters including the ghost cat, Chester and the basset hound, Russell. I will definitely order the next in this series and hope many more adventures of Mojo Sheepshanks will be forthcoming. This was a very entertaining and delightful and sometimes eerie read.

Loved this book. Mojo Sheepshanks is one on the most entertaining characters I've come across in recent years.
Mojo has so many things going against her, that it's a miracle she can function normally. As the secrets of her identity and her past come back to control her future, she is thrust into a mystery, as well as ghosts that appear without notice. She fears she's losing her mind, and the people that surround her can't argue with that.
Her family dynamic is a great element to this story. It shows that you don't have to have blood ties to really be siblings. The mother she's always known warns her to be careful, her ex is popping up to warn her, and bad things begin to happen.
With a new career ready to take off, the set up for book two is waiting. I can't wait until March to pick it up and dive into Mojo's next case. So many questions still linger from Deadly Gamble, that I've begun to read this book a second time in anticipation.
Linda Lael Miller has always had strong characters, but Mojo Sheepshanks is a breath of fresh air, and definetly a woman worth getting to know. The many layers of her character, and the charm of her sense of humor keep the reader entranced. She's the girl you want living next door!
