Mob princess Lucie Rizzo can’t catch a break. Or take one. Building a business empire is hard work, even without her family’s notoriety. Staying out of trouble isn’t exactly her forte. Still, Lucie could use a vacation from Chicago winters and the town where everybody knows her father’s name. So when a certain Irish cop promises warmer days—and hotter nights—Lucie sees an offer she can’t refuse. … refuse.
Detective O’Hottie sweeps her away to the land of sun, sand, and…retirees? Before the real romantic getaway begins, Tim wants to visit his Uncle Henry. Or, to be exact, Tim’s mom wants the goods on Henry’s new girlfriend. Ha! Family drama without a Rizzo involved. What could a sweet, 50-something woman be hiding? Not a lot, judging by the amount of cleavage on display. Holy cannoli, Henry’s Mattie could give Lucie’s bombshell BFF a run for her money.
It’s more than just the skintight leopard print making Tim do a double take. The details don’t add up. Mattie’s not being completely honest—and Lucie smells a rat. Uncle Henry’s gal pal isn’t who she claims to be. But is Mattie playing a long con, or is she the victim? Either way, Lucie is getting caught in a dangerous game.

Outstanding characters, delightful chaos, and a tough mystery create the perfect PG-13 cozy mystery in the newest Lucy Rizzo novel, Incognito. Lucy and Tim’s ten day dream vacation was shot to be all sun, sex and sand. Well, except for a little detour to visit Tim’s uncle. Within two days that dream melted into a Rizzo style emergency investigation but this time it has nothing to do with Lucy or her friends. The one good thing is that she and Tim are working side by side to help his uncle’s new love.
Note for fans of traditional cozy mysteries, Lucy thinks about sex quite a bit, after all she is on vacation and their love is new, and the F word is used twice. I am not a fan of the word but both times it is in extreme circumstances in which my friends would use it.
Lucie is sleuthing away… literally away this time. I love Tim “McHottie” and how he adapts to Lucie’s fun and mostly harmless crazy! Tim & Lucie are both on the same page this time and the hijinks ensue. They pull out the stops and solve the mystery. After all, family is family – crazy and all. This story is just as enjoyable as all of the other Lucie adventures!
Lucie Rizzo Mysteries are my favorite! Incognito was entertaining from beginning to end. Whenever Lucie’s family is involved, there’s always plenty of laugh out loud moments. Some of my favorite parts were Tim’s reaction when he meets his Uncle Henry’s girlfriend, the Rizzo family grand entrance and, of course, any scenes with Ro are always hilarious! I highly recommend this series!
Incognito is the seventh book in the Lucie Rizzo Mystery series. It was so nice to dive back into Lucie’s world. Lucie and Tim visit his uncle, and they both feel that something isn’t quite right with his new lady friend. What’s going on? Lucie is determined to find out. This story was full of humor, secrets, and twists and turns. It keeps you hooked from the get-go. I absolutely loved it. A definite must-read!
Incognito by Adrienne Giordano
A Lucy Rizzo Mystery
Lucy has built her business up rapidly and finds leaving it to go on vacation with her boyfriend a bit difficult but off they go to sunny Florida leaving wintry Chicago behind. Ten days of blissful sunshine, quiet and time alone with Tim will be sublime…right? Maybe… First a stop to check on Tim’s uncle to find out just what the new girlfriend is really like then off to alone time in the Florida Keys. But, as is often true for Lucy, nothing seems to go as planned. That said, maybe this time it will be Tim’s family instead of Lucy’s mob family that will be causing trouble.
This is a fun book with short appearances by Lucy’s parents, brother and her best friend. There is a dog to be walked. There are bad guys to thwart BUT there are no dead bodies so the mystery is not to find a murderer but to uncover what the new girlfriend of the uncle might be hiding. Fun and funny and well worth reading this book left me wondering what will happen next as it seems Lucy’s first love is moving back to Chicago after six months in New York and Tim believes Frankie most is returning because he wants Lucy back. AND Tim plans to keep Lucy for himself.
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

I volunteered to read Incognito.Thanks to the author
for the opportunity. My opinion is my own.
I just love this series. It is so fun and full of kooky characters. Lucie and Tim think they are going to go on a much needed vacation. They are going to make a stop in Florida to see Tim’s uncle for a couple of days. It turns into a big fiasco when Lucie’s family shows up. As always, they bring craziness with them. Fun times for everyone.
Such a fun mystery. Fun, suspenseful,exciting, romantic,and the best characters. What a fun series. Excellent writing.
This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading other books by this great author.
Hilarity ensues when Lucie Rizzo and her sidekicks return! Just when Tim thinks things have quieted down on the home front and he and his girl are going to sneak away on a vacation together, issues start popping up left and right. If you’ve been reading this series, you will quickly recognize most of the characters and be quick to remember all of the mischief that has been the motto of this gnarly gang of misfits. I felt it missed a little something from the pace of some of the other books, but enjoyed it none-the-less. Looking forward to more to come!
Lucie Rizzo finally agrees to put down the reigns of her business and slip away for a vacation with Tim, but it doesn’t take long for a mystery to fall into their laps when they stop to visit Tim’s Uncle Henry and his new love Mattie.
Tim isn’t sure what to make of this woman his Uncle is taken with, but when things start to not add up in the stories he’s hearing, he sets out to find out what’s truly going on here. With surprises around every corner and danger soon lurking, it looks like Tim is going along for the ride in a Lucie-like escapade!
This is the first of the Lucie Rizzo books that i have read, and I must say it was a lot of fun to read. Looks like I will be going back to read the previous books! Lighthearted and fun, this book takes place almost exclusively in a retirement community in Florida. Of course, things never go smoothly for Lucie and Tim as they are trying to have their first vacation as a couple. They have stopped at the retirement community to visit Tim’s Uncle and all sorts of trouble happens. Lucie’s family can’t leave her alone, and soon everyone is involved. Cute, cute mystery that was very easy reading. So glad i read this book and will definitely read more of Lucie’s adventures. I usually only read Ms. Giordano’s more contemporary romances and romantic suspense books which i always love, but will not shy away from these now!
