The audiobook of Murder in Vegas: New Crime Tales of Gambling and Desperation is narrated by the two hosts of "The Joy Bean Podcast"--Joyce Bean and Phil Gigante. They were chosen to read the book because they best represent the author's tone. Connelly, who has won multiple awards, including a Pulitzer Prize, created this anthology of crime stories with the intention to draw parallels between murder during gambling and desperation. The authors explore how people react when faced with losing their fortunes or their lives to addiction.

The book is split into five sections, each with their own stories detailing a different type of crime. In the first section titled "Murder in Vegas," Michael Connelly introduces readers to four homicide detectives-a woman named Lenore Anderson, a man named Sonny Carlisle, and two others-as they investigate a shooting on the Las Vegas strip. In the second section, "Gambling for Murder," readers are introduced to a group of people who plan to rob a casino in order to get revenge after being scammed out of money. The third section, "Gambling for Life," follows a young woman as she takes part in illegal card games. In the fourth section entitled "No Crime Too Small," an amiable small time criminal commits robbery and gets a false sense of power over his victim but soon realizes that there's more going on when he's about to be caught. The final section is titled "Drugs for Murder." It focuses on addicts who make quick cash by robbing drug dealers right before they leave their houses at night.
