Hysterically funny and great caper

Double Wide: A Davis Way Crime Caper Book 10

Rating: 5 of 5

I have read all of the stories in this series. Right from the beginning, I laughed so hard I almost cried. It is one of my very favorites for both the laughs and the great mysteries.

In this book, Davis and Fantasy are kidnapped, along with a crazy lady named Mango. They find themselves stuck on a deserted island, living in what few items are left in the motorhome they were stuffed into (see above, kidnapped.)

The story is told with multiple narrators, who tell the tale via posts, emails, and pencil put to paper. The personality of each of them shines through and were completely different, one from the other. It left me amazed that the author could tell her tale and keep in character throughout.

For humor, my favorite was Tiffanee though Baylor ran a close second. Davis’ letters to Bradley were funny while at the same time showing so much pathos and longing as she talks to and about each of her loved ones.

I suggest, as always, that you begin this series with book 1 and read through. That being said, I think that you could read this book and enjoy it but some of the nuances of several characters would be lost.

The only sad thing for me, when a new Davis Way mystery comes out, is that I have to wait so long for the next one. I’m consoling myself by listening to the audio versions (I’m up to book 2.)
