Princess of Las Vegas

 

I enjoyed Bohjalian's latest, the "Princess of Las Vegas". Crissy is an impersonator at an off-strip hotel called the Buckingham Palace, and as you might have guessed, she recreates Princess Diana. Her younger sister, Betsy, is a social worker in Vermont who just adopted a thirteen year old foster kid named Marisa. Betsy's new boyfriend, Frankie, is into cryptocurrency and convinces Betsy to move to Las Vegas with him. 

Betsy and Crissy aren't exactly close, despite the fact that they look alike (this fact was overemphasized, so I knew it would come into play later on in the book, and it did). Frankie is in deep with some dangerous people and he needs Betsy's help to stay out of it.  Unfortunately that means framing Crissy. It was interesting, didn't delve too much into the nitty-gritty of crypto (which I have no desire to know more about), and had a satisfying ending.
