A Good Run of Bad Luck uses poker terminology for its titles and themes, with each of the ten books named after a gambling term. Dead Man’s Hand, Drawing Dead, The Dirty, and the rest were published between 2021 and 2022. Each book follows a different couple whose romance plays out against the backdrop of Lagomarsino’s interconnected world.
The poker theme adds a playful layer to the stories, with the gambling language reflecting the risks the characters take in love. Fans of Lagomarsino’s other series will recognize crossover characters, but the books work well enough on their own for readers who want to start here.
