C.D. Ledbetter’s latest novel JINGLE OF COINS is a really clever romantic suspense
that borders on “noir” pulp-fiction.  

Emily Sane’s special effects career is about to take off when a devastating car wreck
leaves her out of work and unable to tolerate loud noises.  The damage does have one
favorable outcome; Emily’s reaction to sound allows her to detect changes in pitch of
slot machines.  As Emily tries for the big payoff, she must deal with Glen, a gorgeous
hot blackmailer, a high price call girl neighbor, inept Secret Service agents, and ugly
crime bosses.  

It is to Ms Ledbetter’s credit that she can keep the many characters and numerous sub-
plots fresh, unpredictable, and quick.  JINGLE OF COINS is definitely more suspense
than romance, but is wildly entertaining.  This is a great book for curling up on a quiet
evening with a good cup of coffee.  A mystery with the right amount romance and
sneaky characters that was a fun read, and one you will recommend to your friends.
