Double Dip

A Davis Way Crime Caper

By: Gretchen Archer

Narrated by: Amber Benson

“A smart, snappy writer who hits your funny bone!” (Janet Evanovich).

It’s Davis Way’s first slot-tournament season. And it may be her last. Things are dicey at work. A personal assistant goes missing, a little old lady goes on a suspicious winning streak, and a Bellissimo executive goes gaga for Davis. She follows a disappearing slot-tournament player trail to the So Help Me God Pentecostal Church in Beehive, Alabama, then jumps headlong into a high stakes holy scandal. She’s on a losing streak at home, too. Her days, nights, and dinners run together, as Davis juggles a revolving door of uninvited guests, namely her rotten ex-ex-husband, Eddie Crawford. And Bradley Cole thinks three’s a crowd. The worst? Davis doesn’t feel so hot. Maybe it’s the banana pudding, or maybe it’s a little bundle of something else. Double Dip. A reckless ride in the fast lane, and Davis Way can’t find the brakes.

More solid cozy mystery

(As posted in GoodReads)
I've been continuing with my cozy mystery jaunt and the Davis Way crime books. This one had a little more love tension, and relationships ended up being questioned and closely observed. Fortunately, the fact that I know nothing about gambling and the different games again proved not to negatively affect the book understanding. The new characters introduced spiced the story appropriately, and that that is still bad, and the good is still good, and the unknown is still mixed. I had fun.

More than Double delightful

This book has so many plot lines going... it's wonderful. One of my favorites of the series. I love Ass-ass Eddie's mother, Bea. She's so fabulously despicable, always had her own interests at heart (does she have a heart?). Davis is kept running, juggling about four things at any given time, but she struggles through. And of course, Fantasy is the best.

Surprising Good

So many books say they remind one of Janet Evanovich. So many authors try too hard. This was a good story that didn’t take itself too seriously and was fun without being absurd. The characters were interesting and fun without being cartoonish. I have to say I enjoyed it. And this is the first book of the last 4 that I didn’t have to listen on a quicker speed.

Great story and great narration

Double Dip starts like a roller coaster building up stream and once it reaches the top of the first hill, it just keeps picking up speed. Hard to put down.

I liked it

I liked the first book in the series and really enjoyed it so I tried book 2. I enjoyed it as well.
