Double Up (A Davis Way Crime Caper) (Volume 6)
By:Gretchen Archer
Rating: 5 of 5
I always have a laugh out loud, fun time reading a book by Gretchen Archer. This one is no different. Between giggles, chortles, sniggers and out loud laughing, my husband was intrigued enough to try to “borrow” my copy before I was done reading it. No way! I had to keep slapping his hand away like an annoying insect.
I started this series in the middle but, after this book, I went back and purchased the first three books in the series. I have to find out how Davis (not David) made her way from small town to big city casino.
In this story, Davis is at home with her children. And I do mean at home. She hasn’t stepped foot outside since she arrived home with the kids eight months before. When a new casino in town threatens her (barricaded) life, she is finally motivated to do something and (at least) leave her protective cocoon.
All of my old favorite characters are back. Bea Crawford, Davis’ ex ex mother in law, is a hoot and I hope we see much more of her in the future. There were points at which I had laughter tears streaming down my face from the hysterically funny situations and dialog. I especially liked the “road trip” that Davis and Fantasy end up taking. I don’t know if I can ever eat shrimp again.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
